Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1993 02:36:00 -0400 Here's an all-purpose quiche recipe. I put it together from the suggestions in various cookbooks.

Beat egg white slightly, and spread a thin layer of egg white over uncooked pie crust. Prebake the pie crust at 425 F (400 for a glass pan) for 10-15 minutes. Let cool. Place cheese in crust. Add one or more of the fillings (about 1 - 1-½ cups filling(s) total). Mix eggs, both kinds of cream, and spices. Pour gently on top of cheese and filling(s). Bake at 375 F (350 for glass pan) for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

(I use the Basic pie crust from the New York Times Cookbook.) REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES
