Tasty Tidbit


This is one of the many versions of a French dish that I often make.

Last weekend, my daughters were put out because I hadn't made a much simpler version of the recipe in a long time. They missed the basics!

I thought I was being creative; my family was longing for the simple things...

What do you see above? And what did I make on Sunday to satisfy my children's desires?

Quiche Lorraine?
This one looks like a version with zucchini inside...

Maxime said...

Quiche aux poireaux ou Gratin de Courgettes ?

Anissa said...

It looks like a quiche to me, Betty. With zucchini?

SpacedLaw -- You should recognize it! I just realized it was your recipe for "Torta Rustica," which I am too lazy to link to here. But I will do so in my next post.

That was pretty much a zucchini quiche in my (French cook)book.

And yes, after we ate the delicious thing, the girls complained that I never made Quiche Lorraine anymore!

Zucchini au gratin? ...I think I saw some tomatoes in there... not sure?

Funny, last time we had a quiche I asked W. to make a regular quiche lorraine instead of a zucchini quiche. We have a ton of zucchini from our garden in the freezer, but I wanted the classic quiche for a change.

Ken, I guess creative cooking can get the best of us!

Er, something with zucchini and loads of cheese and eggs? Whatever it is, I want the recipe!

Salut,

You're so right about our Quiche similarities! Zucchini quiche, eh? Sounds like another one to chalk up on my 'things to try soon' board. Looks YUM

I am surprised it lasted long enough to photo! Looks sooo good, almost like pizza!

I was going to say zucchini fritatta, because I made one last week!
But when I looked a bit closer it looked more like a quiche, and I definitely thought I saw zucchini.
