My Favorite Quiche

serves 16

Ingredients:
1 pie crust
1 whole potato, peeled, cubed
1 T olive oil
1 whole leek, cleaned, sliced
3 whole mushrooms, diced (or 1 small can of stems and pieces of mushrooms)
5 whole eggs beaten
1 c milk
1/2 t salt
1/2 t pepper
1/2 t dry mustard powder
1/4 c red bell peppers, diced (preferably roasted)
1 c cheese (I like the mexican blend)

Ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 375 F, and bake the pie crust for about 14 minutes, or until a light golden brown. Remove and let it cool. During this time, boil your potato chunks for about 7 minutes. You do not want them fully cooked, but cooked more than halfway through. Drain, and let cool.

Add the olive oil to a preheated saute pan, and add the leeks, and mushrooms. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring from time to time.

To a bowl, add the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and mustard powder. Beat, and beat well.

To the pie crust, layer half of the cheese, add the potatoes, leek and mushrooms, and sprinkle with the roasted bell peppers. Pour in the egg mixture, top with the remaining cheese, and place in a preheated 375 degree oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is fully cooked.

Remove and let cool for about 1o minutes before slicing into it.
