Ingredients

  • 8 slice bacon
  • 1 cup swiss cheese
  • 1 cup pastry shell
  • 4 cup eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 2 tablespoon scallions
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pepper
  • 1 dash cayenne

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Rarely do I think about whether someone is a “real man” or not — I mean, what does that mean, anyway?

Still, if you’re in a Plaid Pantry parking lot in a bad section of Portland, and a strange guy in an overstuffed parka lets himself into the backseat of your car, you want your date to act tough.

But Eddie panicked and ran back into the store, leaving me to deal with the situation, which turned out not to be dangerous, just sad.

The man, Thomas, told me about his travels in South America, and how he’d returned to find his wife had had a sex change.

Somehow, dating a wimpy guy no longer seemed a tragedy.

But anyway, who doesn’t eat quiche?

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Sprinkle the bacon and cheese over the bottom of the pastry shell.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and carefully pour over the cheese and bacon.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the custard is set an the surface is a very light brown.

Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.
