Real Men Don't Eat Quiche. Really? Here are 2 recipes to change their minds.

Remember the catchphrase of the 80s..."real men don't eat quiche?"  Both these quiche recipes are from the 1970s.  I hope you give them a try!

Mom's Quiche Lorraine

1 cup sliced ripe (black) olives
4 slices bacon, diced
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
3 eggs
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 (9 inch) pastry shell

Preheat oven to 450.  Brown diced bacon with onion in skillet.  Add milk, salt, and dry mustard and heat until bubbles form around edge of pan (scalding).  In medium bowl, beat eggs lightly and stir in cheese.  Add hot milk mixture.  Pour into unbaked pie shell.  Bake at 450 for 10 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350 and bake 25-35 minutes longer or until set in center.  Cool 5-10 minutes before serving.

Bab's Crab Meat Quiche

3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (or Gruyere)
1 (7 1/2 oz) can crab meat, drained and flaked
1 (13 1/2 oz) can French fried onions
1 (9 inch) baked pastry shell.

Preheat oven to 300.  Combine all ingredients and pour into pastry shell.  Bake at 300 for 55-60 minutes or until set.  Serve hot.
