Eggs!

What do you do when you are getting a dozen eggs roughly every 3 days? Make quiche! I cooked up some bacon, sauteed some leeks, onions and mushrooms. Then added some asparagus, broccoli and cheddar.


I used about 14 eggs for two quiches, although Camilla's eggs are really only like half eggs. Science lesson for the day: Have you ever noticed the white spots on egg yolks? You can see them on the top right egg and the bottom egg if you blow the picture up. That is called the blastodisc and is where all the hen's genetic material is stored. You can learn more about egg anatomy here: Egg lesson



I enlisted my favorite pie crust maker - because I hate rolling out pie crust.


Then baked them up. So delicious and satisfying!

Those are cool! We have a friend in Corvallis that has this machine for blowing out eggs quickly and easily. We'll have to blow some soon, we also have a Ukrainian Easter egg kit - batik for eggs!

Mmm! And creme brulee!!! (Which has, ahem, slightly more calories than angel food.)
