Shrimp and broccoli quiche

Quiche is one of the easiest dishes to make, yet looks like you slaved on it all day. The tastes I've combined in this one work so well together that I think it deserves its own name LOL(Lorraine and Florentine have nothing on this one).

Toss some salad on the side and it will make one complete meal.


Ingredients:

1 roll refrigerated pie crust
Broccoli
Shrimp
3 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
Feta cheese
Shredded sharp cheddar
Salt/Pepper


Cook broccoli by either steaming it or boiling it in water until tender
Sautee shrimp in a little butter, add salt and pepper. You don't want to overcook your shrimp otherwise it will be rubbery in your quiche, you just need it to turn pink in the pan and then remove it.

Roll your pie crust out on a pie/quiche mold and press delicately with your fingers, don't pull on the dough to stretch it on the edges because it will shrink back down when it starts cooking and your quich will be edge less :-) you should be just pressing the dough against the edges.

Pre cook your crust in a 350 F oven for 10 minutes (it will bake again after you fill it)
In a bowl whish the eggs, heavy cream, crumbled feta cheese and the salt and pepper

After your crust cools, distribute your broccoli florets and shrimp evenly on it and then pour your egg mixture all over it. Work with your fingers or a spoon to make sure that the liquid goes into crevices.

Sprinkle the top with a small handful of sharp cheddar
Bake in a 350 for 25-30 minutes (the center will set and the top will turn golden)

Enjoy!
