I am not fancy. I didn’t go to etiquette school, I don’t wear shoes with red soles, I would rather spend money on fancy chocolate than fancy makeup, and I don’t eat quiche. Quiche has always seemed like the dish you would find at a fancy, stuffy brunch that people named Benedict, Girtrude or Bunny go to.
(I apologize if your name is either Benedict, Girtrude or Bunny, I’m sure you’re pleasant.)
So the other day I had some leftover pie dough and decided to somehow use it, for a late breakfast Kyle and I were to enjoy on a lazy Sunday. I had crust. I had corn. and I had cheese. So I thought I would make some sort of egg-cream-corn filling and top with plenty of cheese, with a flaky crust on the bottom and up the sides. I snooped around a bit on the internet and realized…. I am making quiche!
I told Kyle I was making quiche and he instantly said ‘Eww, please no. Nothing that eggy’. I called my Mom and told her I was making a quiche and she said ‘Eh, I don’t like quiche’. What’s the deal? Had I said to Kyle ‘You want a delicous breakfast that will consist of flakey pie dough, sweet corn filling and broiled browned cheese on top?’ He would have said yes instantly. So why does quiche have a had rep? Is it the word? Should we just go ahead and rename it to absolutely delicious breakfast pie or something?
I mean seriously, anything that has flaky crust on the bottom and broiled cheese on top is sure to be a winner. Especially since I used Grammy’s Perfect Pie Dough! Add some sweet corn and we have perfection.
