Quiche for One!

Hi everyone! I have a new toy, it's this 4 1/2" individual Le Creuset pie dish-oh boy! Cherry red, it matches the bigger pieces the kids gave me.
I couldn't wait to play with it so I decided to make a quiche for breakfast.
The single serving size is great because I don't like a lot of left-overs.
A single pie dough is more than enough for two of these dishes, so I had a quiche and...
I now have a crust in the freezer for next time!

So even if, or maybe especially if, you're only cooking for one, 
I hope I've inspired you to set your table and treat yourself to something special today!

Thanks so much to Savannah Granny for her CSN give-away! I picked out this dish and a great commercial Nordicware cupcake pan! Have you been to Ginger's blog, it's always a fun visit:@) 
Have a happy day:@)
Quiche for One
*Pre-Baked pie crust
1 egg (I'll use 2 eggs next time, I think the dish is big enough)
1/4 C cream or half and half
Any additions you'd like, I used onion and cheese today.
S&P to taste
Bake at 425 for approximately 25 minutes. Check it at about 18-20 minutes, if it starts to get too brown cover the top with tin foil. 

*I used a basic crust recipe 1 C flour, 1/3 C shortening and a few tablespoons of water. For the pre-baking, I lined the crust with foil and placed a ramekin on the foil to weigh it down. Baked for 12 minutes at 425 degrees.

    Hi, Lynn,
    Oh my goodness, I just love quiche to death, but my family is not so fond of it. I really need one of those cute individual ones (red, like yours, of course :)

    I love the dish...I have a few pieces of the red Le Creuset as well. And I'd love to make a single serving for my lunch without having tempting leftovers!! It sounds like a definite upcoming buy for me!

    XO,

    What is it about red? It just makes any picture pop! I love the individual serving dishes. What a great idea to freeze the other one. Sounds soooo good.

    Hi Lynn, I LOVE quiche and so does my family. Your new dish is awesome. I bet that quiche tasted great. I think I would have a terrible time cooking this small. My huge family background is a cooking hazard. I always cook too much food. You gotta love the leftovers though. My hubs is fine with leftovers. Good thing!
    Smile!
    Hugs, Jeanne

    Love the Le Creuset dish. I always look at them and drool...then I try to find something more in my price range.

    Thanks for the small serving ideas. I'll be an empty-nester soon and love to see how others manage cooking for fewer people.

    We love quiche at our house. The recipe for one is really great and of course I could make two individual ones for us. Cute little dish. LeCreuset is really nice cookware.

    Oh Lynn....you're killing me with the picture of your beautiful quiche. I'm sitting in an airport waiting for my next flight and I'm starving. I would love to have sat down at your table with that cute little red pie plate and gobbled down your quiche. Thanks for sharing.

    Quiche is one of my favorite things, and I love the idea of single servings. Good for you for spoiling yourself.
