I had bought eggs twice in one week by accident, so I decided to make a quiche, which suprisingly takes less eggs than I thought. This is adapted from "Donna's quiche" on Allrecipes.com. So easy, too!
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (9 inch) pie crust
2 cups shredded cheese of choice. > I used monterey and medium cheddar cheese
*Spinach and/or mushrooms can be added.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and saute until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, cream, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.
4. Spoon the onions into the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the onions. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
5. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center of the quiche comes out clean, about 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
