Quarky Quiche

Today I made a nice healthy Quiche. I swear. Completely fat free.

Well…that might be stretching it. But if you put vegetables in something it is healthy right?

Brie, Swiss, Broccoli, and Arugala Quiche
Servings: 6ish 
Preparation: 1 Hour, Baking: 45 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Ingredients:
I didn’t exactly measure this one so bear (growl) with me. 

  • Pie Crust (I used a standard butter crust)
  • 5 Strips Bacon
  •  Veggies - I probably had 2-3 cups uncooked broccoli and bell peppers
  • Arugula - I had a small bunch - about two cups. It wilts down a lot.
  • 4 ounces Brie
  • 4 ounces Swiss
  • Couple slices of Cheddar for good measure
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 c Sour Cream
  • 1/2 c Heavy Cream
  • Salt, Pepper and Nutmeg to taste

Method:

  1. Prepare pie crust and bake until it starts to get brown. While dough is chilling and baking, perform other steps to prepare the filling.
     
  2. Cook bacon until crispy and crumble.
  3. Chop veggies relatively small and cook in bacon pan. Add Arugula the last couple minutes to wilt. Do not overcook since everything gets baked.
  4. Crumble cheeses.
     

    Layer the cheese with veggies inside of cooked crust. Add crumbled bacon on top.

     
  5. Prepare egg mixture. Whisk together eggs, heavy cream, sour cream and spices. Pour on top of vegetable/cheese/bacon mixture.
     

     
  6. Bake at 375 for 35 to 45 minutes. Until golden on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Enjoy slightly cooled!
     

     

    I think I need some more friends to help me eat this…
