Quiche Recipe

Here is Leann's fabulous quiche recipe.

IMPOSSIBLE QUICHE
1 cup meat (ham, bacon etc)
1 cup shredded natural Swiss cheese
1/3 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup Bisquick Original baking mix
1 and 1/2 cups whole milk
3 eggs
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees
2. In a greased 9-inch pie plate sprinkle meat, cheese and onion.
3. In a medium bowl whisk together remaining ingredients until blended and pour into pie plate.
4. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
5. Let stand 10 minutes.
Extra notes from Leann: I always put the pie plate on a foiled-covered cookie sheet because the pie plate is FULL when you put it into the oven and can easily spill over. You can leave out the meat and replace it with an extra vegetable. It usually looks "raw" in the middle after 35-40 minutes, but if the knife comes out clean, it is done. The outside edges will be brown.

March 27, Arundel

Leann hosted a small, unprepared group for our discussion of Arundel. We did talk about the book, but mostly about plot points for those of us who didn't know what happened. For a real discussion of the book, see Lisa's thoughtful e-mail message!

We had a great time though, talking about all kinds of things, ranging from high school band to ghost stories. Leann served us two delicious quiches, along with a green salad and yummy cookies for dessert.

Speaking of food, we talked about having the group go pot luck, and we did not reach a consensus. So, if you feel strongly one way or the other, please speak up. For next time, it's up to the hostess.

And the next hostess is....Lisa!

Next Meeting
What: American Cream by Catherine Tudish (here's my review, if you're interested)
