Quiche

We are under social distancing and a county wide stay at home order for the viral pandemic. Mom is avoiding meat at this time. She says it makes her feel better and she does have more energy and is walking more. I took up the challenge of cooking vegetarian and did a pick up order at Walmart with lots of fresh produce, frozen is limited due to the hoarders. I wanted quiche and was fortunate to have found someone selling "yard eggs" from her basically free ranging chickens. I didn't want to use the flour we were using to make bread to make a pie crust. But we had tater tots in the freezer. Hmm.

Here is what I did, and it came out really good.

Put 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large straight sided pie dish. Cover the bottom with frozen tater tots and bake at 400 for about 10 minutes.

In the mean time, wash and cut up your vegetables. I used 2 celery stalks, about 1/3 of a container of mushrooms, 4 tiny sweet peppers, and 1 tomato. Heat up 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet. Add salt, all purpose seasoning, soy sauce and your vegetables. Cook until well done.

While cooking in a big mixing bowl break 4 eggs, add what  milk you have, about 1/2 cup, and several healthy tablespoons of dried parsley. Beat well.

Take the tater tots out of the oven. smush them in the pie dish til the bottom is covered like a crust. Spread the cook vegetables out over the "crust". Pour over the egg mixture and top with shredded cheese. Bake at 400 about 15 minutes, until a knife inserted in the middle has no egg stuck to it. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Enjoy.

No pictures yet. I keep forgetting.
