Salt and pepper to taste
½ to 1 cup grated cheddar and Jack cheeses
1 piecrust (frozen or homemade)
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat.
Sauté the onion until browned and fragrant; set aside in a small bowl. Pour the water
into the skillet, and steam the broccoli over medium-high heat. Sprinkle a little salt over
them while they steam. When the broccoli is tender, set it aside in a small bowl.
Beat the eggs together with the milk. Add a little salt and pepper to taste. Toss the
onion and broccoli together and spread over the piecrust (in pie pan). Pour the egg mix-
ture over the vegetables. Sprinkle the cheeses over the top. Bake uncovered for 45 to
50 minutes or until a knife tip poked into the center comes out clean. You've now got
yourself a quiche.
Spreading Your Wings
You've followed us on the path from chick to egg. Page by page, you've watched our
girls Tilda, Amelia, and Honey grow from little firecrackers into feathered fireworks.
It's been a nice country stroll, but now that they've matured, the pace will pick up.
Once the eggs start coming, the possibilities from these birds are endless. Everything
from the best baked goods you've ever eaten to starting your own small egg business
can launch from here. Maybe you're now considering having 20 birds laying nearly
two dozen eggs a day, and you'll be printing out flyers to sell the eggs at your office.
Or maybe you've simply mastered the perfect ratio of egg to milk in your children's
Saturday morning French toast. It doesn't matter how far you spread your wings; just
making the effort to bring some good homegrown food to the table is enough.
