I made the most beautiful quiche today <3

DD loves quiche and asks for it frequently. Dh is a little burnt out on it and won't eat it anymore. So I decided to make a whole one for dd and freeze the individual pieces for her lunchbox (she takes her lunch to school 3 days/week).

She is incredibly adverse to vegetables of any kind, particularly mushrooms. I asked her if it would be okay if we made the vegetables "another way" and she tentatively agreed.

Out came the food processor and in went carrots, mushrooms, spinach and green onions. It made a lovely crumbly mixture which we put in the pie shell (over a generous handful of cheddar cheese), and poured the egg mixture over (3 eggs + 2 yolks and 1 1/4 c. cream).

The end result was beautiful! The veggies all rose to the top, leaving a brownish marbly surface. Dd ate it, and announced, "Mmmmm, I like mushrooms like this!!"

This is probably not rocket science to most of you here, but I was really proud to find a way to get some veggies into dd! I never thought about the mushrooms being a texture thing, but I can totally see it. They are kind of weird in a way.

Anyway, just thought I'd share!

Sounds yummy! Quiche is something I avoid making because I detest pastry-making. Love eating it, though!

Well I don't make the pastry. I use Pillsbury
