Real men eat quiche

I mean if that aint a real man I don't know what is!
Anyways on one of the new Here Comes Home Boo Boo specials, they get Honey Boo Boo a pet chicken!
I mean really?!? The pig didn't work so why not a chicken...what little redneck princess doesn't want a pet chicken. I know they already have a dog and a cat but...a chicken?....Really?...That made more since than ...oh I don't know another cat...or a caged bird...or a bunny?
(Maybe it's just me but I would want a chicken pooping all over my house...but then again...)
But I digress...they are all sitting around wondering if the chicken will lay eggs (the chickens name is Nugget by the way)...and Mama is all like "I couldn't eat it if it did that would be like if one of the girls laid an egg and I ate it...gross"...(I am not sure what shes thinking...I mean why get a chicken if not for eggs? and what are you going to do with the eggs then? And the clear and obvious...people don't lay eggs)
That's where good old Suggie comes in, he says he hopes the chicken lays eggs so he can make a quiche. 
A QUICHE?!?!
Bravo Sugar Bear, I would not have assumed you knew what a quiche was (and maybe that says more about me than you) and judging by the look on Mamas face she didn't either (or she didn't know what is was...or that it was made from eggs...or maybe that's just the face she makes every time you talk...you poor poor man).

So all of that got me thinking about getting a pet chicken (kidding) and about making quiche.

So I decided I would make a few kinds...to make it fun! duh! 
I made:
Ham, cheddar and brocoli
Sausage, pepper, tomato and cheddar
Mini egg white, mushroom, bacon, leeks and gruyere (they also had no crust for healthy nerds)
 The nice thing about this is I froze some and then had it for lunches...
I also made a arugula salad and fruit salad! 

Basically you can put anything in a quiche so I am going to give you a basic recipe and you can have at it!
First you will need pie crust (I get the ones in the fridge section of the food store because pie crust is an eivl bitch I try at all costs to avoid)
Pre-heat the oven to 350 (the magic temp that all things will cook at), and pay your dough in a deep pie dish.
In a bowl beat 4-5 eggs and 1/3 cup milk with salt and pepper and whatever other seasoning you want, when it is all beaten there are tow options (like a pick your own adventure...exciting) the first is to layer all your other filling things in the pie crust, meat, veggies, cheese etc...then pour the eggs, and the second way of doing it is to mix all the fillings in with the eggs and plop that in the crust, it really doesn't matter, do whatever you want. Bake for 40-45 minutes, it should not look watery at all then, sprinkle a little cheese on top bake until that's melty, just a few minutes and enjoy!

YAY! Quiche!

Anyways I know after all my talk about being better I totally slacked but truth is, I had this post written Feb. 1st I just didn't publish it so see I am not that bad guys...or I am...I don't know. I have some things planned and half written so it should be better don't worry...or maybe you should...again I don't know...


Buh-byeee y'all
