Remember remember the 5th of november, Spinach and Mushroom quiche!


After indulging in a dreadful evening of smoky and unimaginative fireworks on Cambridge Midsummer Common last night the one thing I was craving when I reached the comfort of my home was a nice quiche. Why you ask? Well to me, quiche has always conjured up a bonfire night feel as being warming and a universal snack and for another thing its damn tasty! The other great thing about quiche is that you can make any variety that you like and it will still taste fantastic and give you a nice comforting feeling in your stomach! It's pretty easy to make as well and can feed all your closest friends on this special night. My recipe is for a slightly different variety of quiche but be experimental and you will come up with some long lasting and mouthwatering moments! So this is the dish to make if you want to remember the wonders of fireworks night, without all the smoke and irritating people!


(I'm rather against onion which is a dreadful thing for an obsessed foodie especially as it is a staple food in many dishes, so on that note I will include it in this recipe so that the majority of the population do not send me hate mail!)


Ingredients:

6 slices bacon
4 eggs, beaten
355ml light cream
0.8g ground nutmeg
3g salt
1g pepper
60g chopped fresh spinach
190g chopped fresh mushrooms
85g chopped onions
245g shredded swiss cheese
140g shredded chedder cheese
1 9inch deep dish pie crust

Method:

You'll need to preheat the oven to 400f. Place the bacon in a large deep skillet (basically a large frying pan). Cook over a medium high heat until its brown all over. Drain it, then crumble it and set to one side. In a arge bowl whip together the eggs, cream, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Stir in the bacon, the spinach, mushrooms, onions, 3/4 cup of swiss cheese and 3/4 cups of cheddar cheese. Transfer to the pie crust and then cover with the remaining cheese so it will be lovely and gloopy. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, this gives you time to rush out and set off any fireworks that you may have forgotten to display yesterday or have a glass of something (or maybe even 2!).

When you take the quicke out it should be nice and brown and you'll all be able to devour it as quickly as possible!
