Calling all brunch lovers! Was this on your table last weekend, or some special day this week?!? I am betting it was. Or maybe some of you even made it for a weeknight dinner. Yum.

    I tried two of Dorie’s quiches…spinach was good, but the mushroom was outstanding. Blogger is doing maintenance so hope my post will appear at midnight:

    This quiche came out of the oven with perfect timing…surprise! College kids unexpectedly came home for semester break and loved this dish.

    Hopefully blogger maintenance is completed soon and I’ll have my post up.

    I love a good quiche and this one was stellar – doubled the bacon and halved the spinach, but that’s just how we roll :) Up at midnight MST!

    as the French would say … PARFAIT!!! This was seriously yum –

    heck, even the mister who doesn’t like spinach in particular or quiches in general had 2 slices!

    • kudoskitchen May 17, 2011 at 3:10 PM #

      Love that your mister had two slices even though he’s not a huge fan of spinach or quiche. How fun to surprise the guy! This recipe was soooo good!

    Hi. I’m new to this board, but certainly not new to being a fan of Dorie’s cookbooks, in fact I own several. After cooking along with all of you quietly for the past few months I decided to sign up, and as my luck would have it, I completely bungled the first recipe!

    I take full responsibility. The thing is that when I lived in the US I would always take the lazy route and buy pre-made pie/tart crust. Now I live in Germany and, since the German’s don’t even have a word for pie, I have had to learn to make it myself. It has not been a smooth ride!

    The long and the short of it is that I did not repair the crack which formed in my pre-baked tart crust and the custard of course leaked out. I then researched my error and learned how to repair cracks, and went back and successfully made Gerard’s Mustard Tart… which was delicious!

    So even though my quiche failed, I’m going to call this week a win overall since I learned something new. And isn’t that what it’s all about.

      So true.

    • kudoskitchen May 13, 2011 at 5:04 AM #

      Hi Rosa! Welcome to this fun group. I look forward to reading all your posts and seeing your photos.
      BTW, failing is such a harsh word. Learning something new is much better! I’m jealous that you live in Germany…

    • Karla May 13, 2011 at 5:05 AM #

      Hi Rosa and welcome!

      I did the exact same thing with my pie crust. Will need a lot more practice with pastry, obviously.

      Great job with the mustard tart – I’ve not tried that one yet, but it sounds very intriguing!

      • rosa May 13, 2011 at 1:24 PM #

        I’m happy to hear that I wasn’t the only one!

        You should absolutely try the mustard tart. I think it was on the schedule for the rest of the group some time last year and I am just now catching up. Simply de-lish!

    • Miss Kris Kitchen May 13, 2011 at 9:05 PM #

      Welcome…and I also loved the mustard tart.

    • Bakeawaywithme May 16, 2011 at 2:19 AM #

      Glad you decided to join us. Also glad you persevered and mastered the pastry. Welcome!

  8. mardi@eatlivetravelwrite May 13, 2011 at 1:52 AM #

    I absolutely loved this one

    Thanks to Blogger being down, it looks like I’ll be doing French Saturday … and yes, I tweaked the recipe like crazy.

    • SisBoom May 13, 2011 at 6:33 AM #

      Ditto Ms. Trix. I tweaked mine into another continent. Just can’t show it to you because of the blogger mess.

    • Maya May 13, 2011 at 6:43 AM #

      I think mine went to another planet and the Martians got hold of the yummy quiche! Oh, Blogger Blues…please go away soon :-(.

  11. saffronandhoney May 13, 2011 at 4:35 AM #

    I love quiche! Such simple goodness.

    I wish I had gotten my post done before blogger went down. Boo. I’ll post mine as soon as I can, when it’s back up and running.
    In the meantime, this recipe was AWESOME!
    Loved every bite!!!!! Can’t wait to show and post.

    Yum, SPRING! I’ll really have to start reading the alternate versions of these recipes – I bet the mushroom would have been fantastic. I DO need to practice pastry, tho, so I should just try a mushroom quiche this weekend.

    Replaced bacon with pancetta and chicken eggs with duck eggs. Best decision ever! I adore duck eggs.

    I also have my post ready but no blogger!! Will post as soon as Blogger resolves its problems.

    Delicious! Even got my 7 year old to eat her spinach. :)

    Looks like Blogger is taking us all down this week. “Quelle Fromage!”,

  22. tricia May 13, 2011 at 6:41 AM #

    Blogger issues indeed. We look forward to posting as soon as the situation is resolved. For now, I will help myself to another piece of that AMAZING quiche…..

    This is my first time posting my efforts on my Blog. Last week I did make the Tourteau de Chèvre but my Web Site was going through a new design and I couldn’t post. Last week I shared my results. This week, I didn’t! Good for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack-time.

  24. anderlani1 May 13, 2011 at 6:57 AM #

    Really enjoyed this one, despite some crust-related fiascos. This is the only way, to date, that I’ve managed to get my toddler to eat spinach, so for me, it’s a definite keeper.

    Hallelujah the pie crust gremlins didn’t get me this time! Not like the week of the Torteau de Chevre…
    Good stuff, love quiche, will be making this again!

    Perfect for a playdate…..delicious, includes bacon, can be made ahead of time so there is more time to chat! Blogger took my original post…please imagine witty commentary.

  31. marcella May 13, 2011 at 9:54 AM #

    We’re back from a long break with a kitchen remodel. So nice to be cooking for real again! The quiche was a hit. We did add some mushrooms to the mix and I skipped the pre-baking of the crust part. I have never understood the need for that step when the whole thing is baked again for such a long time.

  32. Beth@omgyummy May 13, 2011 at 9:56 AM #

    Ok – so it really is Friday the 13th – I actually finished my cooking before Friday and am posting on Friday – a strange and wonderful thing! And what is even more strange (and wonderful) is that this group motivated me to make a tart crust from scratch in the middle of a busy and stressful week. And it was good! Heck, I’d say great. Dinner last night and breakfast and lunch today. And did I already mention that I made a tart crust from scratch on a busy Thursday!! OMG!

    Happy Friday everyone! Here’s the link:

    Quiche is one of my favorite dishes. Although I tend to stick with the standard Lorraine version, I loved this one.

    Terrific recipe!
    I love the fact that there was more filling than custard… and bacon! :) Beautiful quiche!

    I made it! It’s been so hot the past few days here in Chicago I hesitated to turn on the oven – but today’s cool, rainy weather is perfect for baking. This quiche is going to be great for dinner! Looking forward to next week’s salad already… the asparagus at the markets is so fresh.

    My crust cracked, so the egg mixture seeped out a bit, but we still ate every bite. It was delicious!

    Oh my gosh, I’ve had such problems with the blogspot.com site being down last night and some of today. Then I tried to upload my picture and the error message read ‘server rejected’. Thank God the quiche wasn’t a reject! However, my picture didn’t post:-(

    Finally! This was a great dish and we loved it! Nearly didn’t happen as my computer hid my photos and my husband had to go digging for them…and then blogger had issues…it’s been interesting.

    Such a good recipe and I learned the valuable lesson of not doing all the steps at once. Eek burned bacon.

    My scale told me I should make this crustless and with ham instead of bacon. It was still yummy!!!

    I was out of town last week and didn’t get to make the torteau, but I am so glad that I made this quiche even though it is a few days late.

  60. stoutkitty May 15, 2011 at 12:39 PM #

    Well I also used an already made pie crust. I had a gluten free one that needed to be used and got an invitation by my daughter to go to an art show so I choose to cut a few things to make both the quiche and some memories.

    Ok, FFWD friends, how do we cook all these delicious & very divine AMFT recipes without the scales showing it? I would love some of your secrets….

  62. LuLuCooks May 17, 2011 at 10:22 AM #

    I finally made the quiche last night. Used the wrong size pan (too large) so it came out like pizza which my kids loved. Cheated and used a Pillsbury crust which I won’t do again b/c it sucked, but the rest of the quiche was lovely.

  63. Toni May 18, 2011 at 8:22 PM #

    The flavors were really lovely but I felt like there wasn’t enough body for the filling, which is dense and savoury. While I did follow the recipe I was feeling like it needed more egg and cream or milk. Maybe I need to keep an open mind and discover new tastes and textures…this is why I am following this regime! Anyway, we loved the flavor but found it a bit thick for our liking…anyone else?

    Here is mine – http://www.jemangelaville.com/2011/05/21/really-late-ffwd-bacon-mushroom-spinach-quiche/

    Only 2 weeks late ;-) Plus, I posted some vacation pics on this post (the reason it’s so late)…

  65. the_frilly_apron May 22, 2011 at 3:53 PM #

    I couldn’t resist digging into this right away. It smells divine when it’s cooking.

    This is the best quiche I’ve ever made. And probably one of the easiest.

    TY Dorie!
