Everything-is-All-Right Cheddar Corn "Quiche"

By: Andy Hayes

There's just something about a good quiche that makes me feel like all is right with the world. It's hard to find good ones; in my experience, you can buy them in a cafe or in the supermarket and they're hit or miss. Making them can also be hit or miss!

If you're going to serve quiche at your next brunch (or brunch-themed dinner party), consider mixing it up beyond your typical flavors.

Today we're featuring this "quiche" recipe that is similar to a quiche (the original author calls it a pie), but easy to make. This recipe uses cheddar and corn for great, fresh flavors. Pair it with some rainbow slaw and boom: you're the hostess with the mostess.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese

pinch cayenne pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoon shortening

Grease 10-inch quiche pan or pie plate; sprinkle with bread crumbs. Combine bacon, cheddar, onion, green pepper, corn, pepper, salt, and cayenne; sprinkle over bread crumbs.
