Mac and cheese Quiche

[Old Crank]

I got trapped in a in a long slow grocery line on Saturday. I ended up with a magazine of recipes landing on the food pile. This has quite a few different quiche recepies. Here is one slightly modified recipe for Mac and Cheese quiche. I added a bit more cheese and a bit of speck and onion to the mix before baking. The crust was fairly standard with cheese added and using an egg for the liquid.

1. Hmmm...different. Two of my favorite things in one. I like Quiche and Mac & Cheese!

I'll have to try and make. This sounds good!

4. Cheese in the crust also

The recipe had me make the crust. Flour butter, a little salt, cheese and one egg for the liquid.

We think it worked out quite good and made enough for 6 servings.

6. Thanks! I'll give it a shot, let you know how it turned out! Thanks so much!

7. A ?, how did you make the Quiche itself? Cheese, eggs, macaroni, perhaps a little salt, maybe pepper ...

Thanks, this looks so good...

100 gr. flour
100 gr. butter small cubes
80 gr. Cheddar, grated

Mix flour, salt, butter, and cheese together like a normal pastry, then added the egg to combine. I needed a couple extra tsp flour. Make disc, then fridge for an hour. Rolled out to fit a 21 cm x 8 cm pan. Chilled it while oven heated to 180 C with fan (200 plain)
blind baked for 10 minutes (weighted) removed weights and filled.

Filling
250 gr. macaroni, cooked and rinsed in cold water, drained.
6 eggs
200 gr cream. I use cookign cream 17%
pepper
80 gr, cheddar grated.
Mix all together. My wife wants more cheese next time.

Additions by me;
1 medium small onion chopped, 125 gr spec. I cooked them both together to render some fat.

Assembly;
1/3 of onion spec mix on pastry bottom
2/3 noodles. half the cream egg mixture,

9. Thank you so much, I'm going to have so much fun making this, and EATING it too! I always loved Quiche,

and I'm embarrassed to say, that I misplaced the recipe! Now, I have it again. I've always experimented w/ making it, adding sometimes bacon or ham, asparagus, sometimes just plain, w/ just the cheese, etc. It's so easy to change to what you like. And so easy too.

My profound thanks to you. May you and yours have a wonderful day and may the blessings pour in for you. Like I said, I'll let you know how it goes. I'm excited to say the least!

10. Not a problem

Hope it works out for you.

12. Whoopsie

Butter and flour the pan.

[SWBTATTReg]

16. Thanks! I figured as much, you have done the grunt work still, getting the main portion of the recipe, the buttering

and flouring the pan is a standard thing to do w/ most casseroles, so I assumed this. Otherwise, my dogs would have a field day in devouring what I couldn't get off the no flour & unbuttered pan (they wouldn't mind, ha ha!).

3. Looks good!

My mother made a “souffléd” mac and cheese that was always a big hit with the lunch club.

[Old Crank]

5. That sounds good also

Mac and cheese seems to always be a hit at pot lucks.

11. I put new recipes in "keeper" and "non-keeper" categories. Is this a keeper for you?

It looks really good.

[Old Crank]

13. I think it is

At least the base.
It could be fun to add some other things to it.

14. For some reason pepperoni popped into my head. The dish needs more calories. LOL.

15. Here in Germany

Peperoni won't add too many calories😁

Remember this when you order pizza mit Peperoni in a lot of Europe.
