Hellomy Foodie Friends!   

When I was a young child, I did not like quiche. I have no idea why. Maybe the quiche I tried back then was improperly prepared or contained ingredients that I didn’t like. Whatever the reason, the word “quiche” had a negative connotation in my mind even into my adulthood. Maybe it was the saying “Real men don’t eat quiche.” However, in my adulthood, I have learned to love quiche with buttery pastry; rich, eggy custard; gooey cheese and pretty much any meat or veggie topping under the sun. I know that I have devoured every quiche that I have or my wife has ever made. I love the versatility of the ingredients, the convenient make-ahead aspect and that it’s pretty much a one pot meal. Quiche is easy to prepare and a wonderful year-round favorite that’s just as perfect for spring brunches or winter dinners when only comfort food will do.

An important tool to use for your quiche is a tart/quiche pan. This is a kitchen tool that makes every baked good look perfect. The best tart/quiche pan is an important tool in the kitchen that can be used for many dishes and are brilliant for everyday sweet treats, brownies, quiches, cakes, and more. A tart/quiche pan is a round-shaped and shallow pan, most commonly used to make tarts, pies, and quiches. Most tart/quiche pans have two parts: a detachable base and ring edge. The pans come in a variation of sizes ranging from 4” all the way up to 12″. Pans with removable bottoms allow the baker to remove the rim before sliding the tart off the disk base and onto a serving plate. The wavy edges on the pan’s rim, called flutes, give the finished tart/quiche its professional, polished appearance.

Give quiche a chance. Stop by Compliments to the Chef, your Neighborhood Kitchen and Cutlery store located at 33 Railroad Place for an assortment of tart/quiche pans and other “cool” culinary tools. Remember my Foodie Friends, “Life Happens in the Kitchen.”
