Since Sunday is the big Super Bowl game, thought some folks might be looking for a quick and simple dish for breakfast.  I love quiche and the recipe below is one I’ve used several times and really like it.

The recipe comes from a Taste of Home cookbook I’ve had for several years titled “Best of Country 30-Minute Recipes.”  The recipes in the book are described as geared for  “on-the-go cooks who beat the clock when feeding their families down-home foods loaded with flavor.”

I think the quiche below definitely fits that goal.  Add some hot muffins and fresh fruit and you’re set to go!

Bacon Cheddar Quiche

Val Forsythe, Albert Lee, Minnesota

• 14 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 6-ounce jar sliced mushrooms, drained

• 1 tablespoon dried minced onion

• 5 eggs

• 1 5-ounce can evaporated milk

• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

In a greased 9-inch microwave-safe pie plate, layer the bacon, cheese, mushrooms and onion.  In a large bowl, beat the eggs, milk and cayenne; pour over the onion.

Microwave, uncovered, on high for 6 minutes, stirring twice.  Cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until knife inserted near the center comes out clean.  Let stand for 5 minutes or until set.  Cut into wedges.

Yield:  4 to 6 servings.
