Betty and Martha


In college, my friend and roommate Leigh (“Ferg”) and I were like peas and carrots.  Actually, we were like Betty and Martha.

She was the chef extraordinaire, also known as Betty Crocker, who actually got me excited about experimenting in the kitchen.  I was the crafty painter who loved to decorate, also known as Martha Stewart, who helped to transform our dorm rooms into masterpieces. 

Together we were quite a team, even dressing up as matching cows for Halloween.

Luckily, we have come a long way since those days, but we still love to swap recipes and discuss decorating plans even though we are now in different cities.

This recipe is her delicious, and simple quiche.  It's even better made the day before and reheated, but tastes great anytime.  The fillings are only limited to your imagination and it's great for a weekday dinner or a fancy brunch.

Thanks Fergie!

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, S &P.  Pour mixture over pie crust and filling.  It should just enough to cover filling.  Add a little extra milk on top, if it doesn’t.
