PHILLY CHEESESTEAK QUICHE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the unbaked pie shell. Preheat the oven to 375F. Preheat a 10-12" skillet on medium heat.
• 2. Grease the skillet with oil/butter (your choice, but I prefer butter) and add the sliced onion and green pepper. Cook the onions and peppers until they are tender (not mushy) - about 10 minutes.
• 3. While the skillet is busy, beat the eggs and milk together, and blend in the nutmeg, 1/2 tsp. salt and some ground black pepper.
• 4. Add the deli roast beef, worchestshire sauce and garlic to the skillet and stir while continuing to cook another 3-5 minutes. (Taste the filling and check the seasoning!) Remove the filling from the skillet when finished and allow to cool for 5 minutes before adding to the custard mixture.
• 5. Add to the custard mixture the meat/veggie filling and grated cheese. Mix well and pour into the pie shell.
• 6. Bake the quiche for 45 minutes at 375F. Use a clean sharp knife to test for doneness (poke the center and see if it comes out clean). The center should not jiggle. (If not done - continue cooking another 5-10 minutes.)

SEAFOOD CREAM CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Set oven to 425F degrees.
• In a saute pan, melt the butter, and saute the onion and the celery, until soft.
• Add in the shrimp, cook until the shrimp are pink in colour; set aside.
• Divide the cream cheese in half, and cut the cream cheese into 1/4 inch pieces; sprinkle evenly into the bottom of the two pie crusts.
• Top with the sauteed shrimp/onion mixture.
• Top with the grated Swiss cheese.
• Mix together the milk and eggs; divide evenly between the two pie crusts.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 425F degrees.
