Whoever said “Real Men don’t eat quiche” never met hungry fire fighters after a particularly grueling training session. We never knew when the next fire tone might sound and whose home might be burning. Chimney fires and problematic woodstoves were common, especially during the winter. This meal provided a warm and hearty tasteful of goodness. Try it!
Pastry for 10” quiche (or pie) plate
¾ cups half & half
2 eggs, beaten
¼ teaspoon, each, of salt and pepper
4 to 8 ounces Swiss cheese slices, chopped
1 tablespoon flour
4 to 8 pieces of crisp bacon, crumbled
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Combine half & half, eggs, and seasonings in a large bowl and mix well with a fork. Toss cheese with flour in a small bowl. Add the cheese to the egg mixture. Pour the cheese mixture into the pastry shell. Sprinkle with bacon pieces. Bake 40 to 45 minutes in the center of the oven or until lightly browned. Remove plate from oven and cool on a rack. Mixture will solidify after about 10 minutes. Serve. This keeps well for a couple of days and individual servings can be heated in the microwave. Serves 4 to 6 people. The recipe can be easily doubled or quadrupled to feed a fire company!
