I had some smoked ham left over from the holidays as well, so I decided to make some quiche for dinner & to go ahead & make some for the freezer.
I made up a batch of pie crust a couple of days before I made the quiche(s). I used the recipe from the Chickens in the Road Fool Proof Pie Crust which makes 5 single crusts. I like this crust for savory pies. Note: Still looking for a good recipe made with butter that I can use for sweet pies.
The 4 that I was going to put in the freezer were all made with the same ingredients. Except I only had enough 2% milk for 3 of them & used my raw 'drinking' milk for the 4th (& 5th). I baked 2 at a time & when I took the 2nd batch out here is the difference:
The one on the right is the one made with the raw milk. I'm guessing that store bought regular whole milk might have had the same result?
Each of the 'to be' frozen ones had ham, steamed chopped broccoli, onions & cheese with 4 eggs & 1 cup of milk each. 20 eggs used up!
The last one I made for our dinner I used sauteed mushrooms instead of broccoli & apparently I didn't saute out all of the moisture from the mushrooms because it was a bit watery & bland. However, I just had a slice of leftover for lunch & all the moisture was gone & it was very tasty. Lesson learned.
