Grilled Quiche


When it gets this hot (94 today) you'll do anything to not turn on any heat generating appliance, so for dinner tonight I baked a quiche in our gas grill on the back porch.

I just made the quiche recipe as I would for the oven. Instead of my usual glass pie pan, I poured the filling into a heavy square metal baking pan that fits my grill top.

I got out the oven thermometer, lit one side of the grill, and placed the pan on the unlit side, so it wouldn't be directly over the flame.

It took about the same amount of time as it would in the oven and it turned out great! I'm thinking brownies might be the next experiment. :)

Basic Quiche:

6 eggs
1/2 cup cream or whole milk (whatever I have around)
pepper and salt
1 cup chopped fillings (veggies, bacon, etc.)
1 cup grated cheeses

Beat the eggs, cream, and seasonings together, and pour the mixture into a buttered baking dish. Arrange the veggies and cheese over the egg mixture, and bake at 350F for about 45 min.
