FrankenRecipe: 25 Chicken Quiche

Prep Time: 10 Minutes Bake Time: 45-55 Minutes Yield: 8 Servings

“Wilbur Walnut was a farmer who lived out on the far edge of Walnuttia. Wilbur had one cow, two pigs, and four rabbits. Mostly though, Wilbur had chickens – lots of chickens. In fact, Wilbur had twenty-five chickens in total.” 

How many eggs would 25 chickens lay? Likely a lot, which is great if you’re like Wilbur and love some quiche! Quiche is an egg-based tart cooked in a flaky pie crust. This particular recipe uses other farm-friendly ingredients, but quiche mix-ins are versatile and fun to experiment with!

Directions: 

1. Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit (177° Celsius). 
2. Line a pie dish with an unbaked pie crust.

4. Gently whisk in onion, spinach, bacon, and ½ cup of the shredded cheese.  
5. Pour egg mixture into prepared pie crust. 
6. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the egg mixture. 
7. Cover the edges of your pie crust with a pie crust shield or folded aluminum foil to prevent overcooking.
