AMAZING QUICHE

RECIPES FOR DAYS WHEN YOU FEEL DOWN AND OUT, DOWN IN THE DUMPS AND DOWN IN THE MOUTH

This is a great thing to make for breakfast and the best part is that it's completely failure-proof. It always turns out and it's universally liked, especially when it's hot out of the oven, because it's cheesy and good. The secret is that it's made with Bisquick. The recipe used to be on the box, but it's not anymore for some strange reason. Originally it was called "Impossible Pie" because it makes its own crust. Whatever you call it, it's good and a recipe that's worth having under your belt so you can bring it out and use it when you need something to impress the masses or just to feed a hungry family (which could be one in the same). Here is the recipe:

5 eggs

2 C. milk

1 C. Bisquick

2 C. grated cheese (any kind will do, but I like Swiss cheese the best)

1/2 C. chopped onion

1/2 C. chopped green pepper

4 pieces of bacon (you can use 1/2 C. chopped cubed ham pieces if you prefer)

1 T. dried parsley or chives or both

1. Cook the bacon until it is crispy and brown. Break into small pieces and set aside.

2. Saute the onion and green pepper in 2 T. oil until it's translucent. Don't overcook.

3. Add the eggs and parsley/chives to the milk and Bisquick mix and blend with a wire whip.

4. Grease or spray with Pam the bottom and sides of a 9" pie dish or quiche pan.

5. Add the grated cheeese to the bottom of the dish. Place the sauteed onions and peppers and the bacon pieces on top of the cheese.

6. Slowly pour the mixed milk, egg and Bisquick mix over the top.

7. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 50 minutes or until the top is nicely browned. If it looks like this, it's not done yet. Let it bake to a nice golden brown before you take it out of the oven. As you can imagine, this is a very versatile recipe and you can put in it just about anything you want. It also makes a great dinner if you want to use hamburger instead of bacon and add other vegetables like broccoli or spinach. The sky is the limit with the Amazing Quiche recipe, thanks to the never-fail Bisquick. Enjoy!
