Hi guys! It's been forever, am I right? First I graduated college, no big deal, and then I went a-traveling for work, also no big deal. And it wasn't exciting, either. You know I haven't had a home-cooked meal in months?? So the other night was my second night back after being laid off (no big deal) and I desperately wanted some delicious delicious foodstuffs. Wouldn't you know it, everyone loves quiche (and I love breakfast) so I'm making this quiche of course with minor adjustments. Actually I didn't follow that recipe much because I'm not about that.
Ingredients:
1 lbs of thawed hashbrowns
green onions
1 tomato
a handful or two of spinach
like 6 green onions
4 oz goat cheese
9 eggs
pepper
salt
butter (I used vegan butter)
Avocado Cream:
2 avocado
2 limes
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of water
First, I preheated the oven to 375 degrees. My mom has a beautiful glass 9" pie pan that I rubbed down with my vegan butter all sexy-like. Took a bowl, mixed the hashbrowns which I totally didn't thaw because I'm not about that (I forgot) with a bit of salt, a ton of pepper, something like two tablespoons of vegan butter, and an egg. Had this been thawed and my butter a bit more room temp, this would've worked like a dream to keep the crust together.
However, instead it ended up like this:
Pat the crust into the pan, etc. I baked it for over 20 minutes because I forgot, but you only have to bake it 15 minutes until it sets. While it was cooking I made the avocado cream. Mix two avocados, two tablespoons of water, and two limes. You're supposed to use a food processor but I don't own one of those, so I used a fork and potato masher. Also add two tablespoons of the olive oil while you're mixing it up.
Look at how delicious. Add the cheese, salt, pepper, and ALL THE VEGETABLES!!
BOOM!
But don't forget the eggs, like I did
So add the eggs and back until it sets, 50 minutes should do.
So fifty minutes later, I realized that the oven had turned off after I baked the hashbrowns. Fifty minutes after that, TA DA!! QUICHE!! Okay, I forgot to take a picture, but here is the result of the taste test: My mom liked it. I thought it was horrifyingly bland, but I will tell you why. I picked a bunch of mild vegetables for this quiche because I thought we had bacon. We didn't. This dish needs bacon. Failing that, it needs a lot more salt and a lot of garlic, which I unforgivingly forgot to put in. It's not a bad quiche at all, it's just pretty bland. Also, if I could go back in time I would've thawed out the hashbrowns before I mixed them with butter, etc. because the consequence was the crust didn't hold together. I knew that was going to happen. Anyway, if you make it exactly like I did, keep a bottle of ketchup or siracha handy, it will definitely make it better.
...reading back on this post I realized I would make an excellent cook if I was less forgetful...
