When we were little my mom used to make Quiche Lorraine a lot. I was a very picky eater, but this was one of my faves. My mom used to work for Magic Chef in the early 80's so we had a microwave pretty early on. Her job involved creating microwave recipes and demonstrating them for people at department stores. I think we were guinea pigs, but I liked this particular Magic Chef recipe so no complaints here. (Though I am still skeptical of her claims of doing a whole Thanksgiving dinner in the microwave. C'mon mom, that's just disrespectful to the pilgrims.)
OK in How to Cook Everything (HTCE) Mark Bittman suggests you make a Quiche pie crust from scratch. That would probably taste better, but I am dipping my toes in right now, so I bought a Marie Callender ready made pie crust. I did follow MB's directions to poke several holes in it with a fork, cover it with tin foil and put some beans on the tin foil to weight it down. I followed his advice to use Gruyere, 2 cups cream, and 6 eggs, but then I added bacon because who doesn't luurrrve bacon? (Jen, but I think everyone else does). I also added some chives from my garden. So following the recipe in spirit anyway.
Final results? I liked it a lot. I made two and gave one to the neighbors who have a new baby. They seemed to like it. Joel didn't have seconds, which doesn't bode well for his enjoyment, but for a nice, easy, but not healthy recipe this one was pretty good. Plus it provided a trip down memory lane. I'll give it a B.

So typical of you. A basic yuppie meal, instead of the good old fashioned, stick to your ribs meat, potatoes and a vegetable as your first meal.
I don't care if you dress the litle lad like a yuppie, but at least feed him the flesh of dead animals, and I'm not talking about boneless and skinless healthy chicken.
Real men eat quiche Pelmo. Plus, I learned it from a lady you happen to love very much.
Hmmm, I haven't made it in awhile; maybe I will soon...better yet, maybe I'll drop in at my daughter's and try hers!
Listen Ms Sassy Lassy, real men after the age of 6 months are not supposed to eat food that can be eaten with a spoon, or a sippy cup.
May I suggest some artery clogging food for your next adventure in cooking.
