Whole Wheat Bread recipe may be found HERE. I used a recipe from the All Recipes site instead of King Arthur as I was out of molasses. K.A. calls for molasses. I always use the bread machine to start things and free up my time, finishing the final stages of rising, shaping and baking by hand.
Cut the recipe back if you don't want multiple loaves of bread. It freezes fairly well but I'd rather make fresh.
This week we made a cheesy onion quiche from the Mary McCartney cookbook Food. #Winner!
I broke out the beloved and old "goat plates" to serve lunch. No special ocassion
Earlier we had a piece of leftover quiche with a grilled avocado, Havarti and tomato sandwich. Made a very filling lunch. Recipe below. 👇
Cheesy Quiche
Food by Mary McCartney
(I made some adaptions)
Homemade or premade pie crust
2 TB vegetable oil or light olive oil
4 medium onions, finely chopped (you can mix re and white oniosn if desired)
1 TB mixed herbs such as oregano, parsley and thyme
6 large free-range eggs
roughly 1 1/2 cups milk
6 ounces sharp cheddar, grated
salt and pepper
In frying pan saute onions in oil for about 10 minutes. Once softened mix in herbs and take off heat to cool slightly.
In mixing bowl, beat eggs and whisk in milk so eggs are light and have bubbles. Stir in grated cheese and fried onions. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour mixture into pie crust and bake 30-35 minutes. The center should have a spring to it when pressed gently in the middle.
The only changes I made was to use a bit less cheddar and fewer onions.
This makes a very good lunch and could be a filling dinner served with a side salad.

That quiche looks really delicious. I like the idea of lots of onions in the egg mixture. And it appears to have puffed up nicely. I hate when restaurants give you rewarmed quiche!
ReplyDeletebest... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thank you, Mae. I agree, warmed up from a restaurnt is not good.
DeleteVicki, currently I have a Cuisinart bread maker. That brand doesn't let me down but I have used other brands for bread machines. If you add the liquid ingredients in first (water, oil egg if using) then the dry ingredinets atop - I just set mine to the Dough setting. It takes an hour and half to knead and rise, then I take it out and shape it, let it rise 30 minutes and bake.
ReplyDeleteOops, I just read your comment again and see you are familiar with the machines!
Vicki, thank you! There are 6 plates total. One has lunch dinner and supper at each of the animals homes. They are almost 40 years old, a beloved gift from Doug, and I have been so careful with them to not break.
ReplyDeleteI too am a HUGE fan of the dough cycle. Such a time and cleanup saver. Love your dishes. And now ... of course ... I want a quiche. LOL
ReplyDeleteBFR - the Mary McCartney recipe is so good! Easy too. Those dishes were a real surprise and I have loved them since I saw them displayed in a speciality shop.
DeleteOh you just gave me an idea! I was planning an Easter brunch and quiche would be a great idea! Will be using my bread maker to make bread as well.
ReplyDeleteJackie, I think thats a great Easter brunch!
DeleteOh my gosh that quiche looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreg, it's such a quick and easy meal.
DeleteYour quiche looks delicious! And that plate is very cool!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I want fresh bread.
Thanks for sharing with Weekend Cooking.
Thanks, Marg! I like making bread and the kitchen always has the most wonderful aroma from the baking.
Deletethanks for thinking of me! Your quiche looks great and so does your bread. I'm always impressed with homemade bread.
ReplyDeleteJudee, it's made easier by making the bread machine do the heavy lifting :-)
DeleteGosh I haven't made a quiche in ages! Yours sounds great! I love using my bread machine for the same reasons you listed!
ReplyDeleteMelynda, I came actoss a few quiche recipes from Donna Hay and then this Mary McCartney book. Inspired me. It's a nice hot lunch.
DeleteGlad you got the old plates out. I've got several of those as well due to an inheritance from my mother. My brother text to ask if i ever used a bread maker, and I confessed I haven't but it's on my bucketlist.
ReplyDeleteDancewme, thanks for visiting. Those plates are special and I thought, what am I saving them for?! Live for the moment :-)
DeleteI can't think of the last time I made quiche. Thanks for the reminder! :) Of course I don't cook nearly as much as you, but even I can manage a veggie quiche. :)

Terrie, I do cook most days but quiche is a very fast toss together, you can get it on the table in 30 minutes!
DeleteI'm reading this post too close to dinnertime and now I'm really hungry! Everything looks delicious. I make a crustless quiche (skinnytaste recipe) every couple of weeks and change up add-ins... this week I have broccoli and mushroom. I didn't use my bread machine often enough and it's one of the things I let go when we moved to FL... now my husband says he misses it. If he keeps mentioning it, I may have to get a new one. Love the plate... so cute!!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, I frequently get hungry while browing my foodie magazines or cookbooks! I think the bread machine would be a good investment for a time saver. A broccoli and mushroom quiche would be a amzing, thanks for the idea.
DeleteI'm debating getting rid of my bread maker which is a Zojurushi. I usually make sourdough in the dutch oven but when I have used the bread maker I also just use the dough function. That can be easily done with a kitchen aid mixer though. so I'm not sure and have it in my closet/pantry. I make quiches frequently or if I skip the crust just a frittata. You can use the same recipe but butter a cast iron pan or any pie pan and pour the filling in.
ReplyDeleteChristina, I have never attempted sourdough but am always tempted to try it. Quiches are great but you are right, without a crust we can have a frittata,
DeleteThat all looks yummy, but I'm especially drooling over the sandwich!
ReplyDeleteJoy, we have been making efforts to eat healthier and it's paying off!
DeleteI love the plate! That definitely makes for a fun place setting. I really like quiche but haven't had it in years. There was a place near my grandparents' that make the best ham and swiss quiche that was my favorite but I don't really have a reason to go to middle of nowhere Mississippi anymore. I need to find a good quiche place locally. The bread looks yummy and there's nothing better than fresh bread!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun plates! And that quiche and bread both look fabulous. I gave my bread machine away many, many years ago, but I have a good sandwich bread recipe that is easy enough to make. The only problem is we were eating too much bread & butter! I rarely ever eat bread now (maybe an occasional slice of sourdough with mashed avocado), but it sure would be tempting if I had a homemade loaf warm from the oven.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Les! I coveted those plates as they sat in a specialty shop window in the same mall I worked at 40 years ago. I wanted to buy them then suddenly, they were gone. What I didn't know was Doug bought them and hid them until Christmas!
DeleteFresh bread is hard to resist so I have cut back on making it
What a sweetheart! Rod's done surprises like that, too. They're keepers, aren't they?!
Deleteyes please to the quiche - looks fab. Love those plates!
ReplyDeleteSherry, we may make it again today. It's rainy and this would make a good hot lunch.
DeleteQuiche looks great, btw. Happy reading and Happy Easter!
