Tarragon and Thyme Quiche

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk or soymilk
• 4 ounces cheese (smoked Swiss, Cheddar, or Gouda cheese, shredded or sliced 1/16 inch thick)
• 1/4 lb cooked bacon (optional) or breakfast sausage, crumbled (optional) or ham, turkey, chicken (optional) or shrimp, cooked and diced (optional)
• 1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped (optional)
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon tarragon

Directions

1. 1

   Line a 9-inch pie shell (I like graham cracker or Oreo cookie pie shells best, gives the quiche a sweet flavor) with the smoked cheese. Other cheeses can be used, but the smoked cheeses, whatever type, gives the quiche a superior flavor over that of plain cheeses.

2. 2

   Mix all ingredients except meat together and pour into pie shell.

3. 3

   Sprinkle with meat.

4. 4

   Cover with tin foil and bake at 300 degrees for 50 minutes, or until knife inserted into center comes out clean.

5. 5

   Remove tinfoil and broil 2 to 5 minutes until lightly browned on top.
