Spinach and Goat Cheese Quiche

Let me tell you what I think of this pie place that opened up on H street near my house. I don't like it. There you have it. The pies are good but far too expensive. A friend of mine and I each had a slice of their spinach and goat cheese pie. Tasty. Enjoyed it. Not filling - but we had no real complaints on taste. We sipped on some free tap water and then walked up to the counter to pay. The total for the two small and defintiely not filling slices of pie was $15 - WHAT THE CUSS!??

I was so shocked and needless to say that will be my first and last time visiting this pie place. If I am paying top dollar for a slice of pie I am expecting MUCH MUCH more than what we got. I could see if they used an extremely expensive meat, cheese, spice etc - but they did not. Ridiculous!!! Never again.

Sorry I just had to get that out of my system on the inter webs. I promise no more ranting.

So, I made a pie - well I made a quiche - and it cost me a total of $5 to make. How bout that? A whole freaking pie for $5. And it was delicious! I ate the whole thing in a matter of 4 days.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner!

You go ahead and do the same - because it's just that easy. Use the eggs and milk as your base and go from there. Add your favorite cheeses, meats, veggies, spices, and herbs. Just don't over do it or the quiche will no longer be a quiche (4 or 5 ingredients, excluding spices/herbs is plenty).


Have fun - until next time!!!
