Quiche

Hey kiddo! Do you know what quiche is? It's a yummy food that's like a pie, but instead of being filled with fruit, it's filled with eggs, cheese, and sometimes vegetables or meat.

So, when you make quiche, you start by making a crust, just like you do with a fruit pie. The crust is made out of flour, butter, and a little bit of water. You mix them all together to make a dough, then roll it out flat and place it in a pie dish.

Next, you crack some eggs into a bowl and whisk them together. Then you add in some cheese (usually Swiss or Gruyere) and mix it all up. You can also add in some cooked veggies like spinach or mushrooms, or some cooked bacon or sausage if you want to make it meaty.

Then you pour the egg mixture into the pie crust, making sure it's evenly spread out. You pop it into the oven and let it bake for about 40-45 minutes, until the egg is set and the crust is golden brown.

When it's done, you take it out of the oven and let it cool for a bit. Then you can slice it up and eat it either warm or cold, depending on how you like it.

And that's how you make quiche! It's a delicious and filling meal that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
