Marbled Quiche with Potato Crust

Although the name "cobalt" may make you think of blue, this quiche is pretty much all the warm colors that warm colors could be ;)  Quick, easy, cheap, and transports well-- Quiche is another one of those meals for the weeknight that make you feel like you are living in style while on a budget!  It then transports well to work the next day for lunch as well :)

Ingredients:
filling
12 eggs
2c marbled cheese chopped
1/2c broccoli, fresh or frozen
2c celery, chopped
crust
1/2c potato flakes
1/2c flour
1/5c water
1tbs oil

Time: 
                    12 min to prepare
                    45 min to cook        
Total            about an hour

Serves: 8+ servings


Directions:

1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2) Combine all the filling ingredients in a mixing bowl, and mix until all the ingredients are well coated with the broken eggs.

3) Mix the crust in another bowl, (or right in the mixing cup as pictured to the left and right)! You can easily mix the crust with a fork.

4) With your fingers, coat the bottom of all the future quiche pans with a thin layer for the crust mixture.  Take you time- There is no baking soda in this recipe!  If you run out of crust, you can make more.   You do want the bottom covered, or serving could be difficult.

5) Add the filling mixture to the dishes and pop in the oven! I like to keep the cheese chunky, because as it cooks the cheese will darken first, giving the finished result of a marbled look-- To go with the cheese!

6) Bake for 45 min, or until above mentioned marbled look is achieved.  Serve hot or chilled!
