Real Men Eat Quiche

Quiche is so easy to make.  Maybe too easy.  I make it about once a month and all of my boys love it.  I make it with leftovers or good deals.  It is a great way to make over something that we've already seen.  My husband, child of the 80's, decided he had to tell our boys that "real men don't eat quiche."  I know he was hoping to get them to react in some way.  Laugh, question, something.  They just kept eating.  They love the stuff.  I now call it "egg pie" for my husband so that he can be a REAL man.  My real young men don't care what it is called.  They just want me to make it.

The pie crust is fantastic... I've tried others but keep coming back to this one.  It is Pioneer Woman's and can be found here:

I make three at a time - at least - and usually do at least two with bacon and cheddar (but could be beef or chicken or pork if that is what I have).  I've also done one with mozzerella, tomato and basil... YUM!  Turkey and brocolli and cheese is good too.  Anyway, I put enough stuff in the pie shell to cover the bottom and then some.  I mix up 6 eggs with about 3/4 cup sour cream (per pie) in a blender with a little season salt.  I pour this over the stuff in the pie crust and then put it in a 350 degree oven for about 45 min.  Easy, flexible and very good.  I  make this all the time when we have company and everyone is always so impressed.
