Ingredients

Egg Quiche

  • 8 large Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup Onions minced
  • 1 cup Milk whole works best
  • ½ cup Ham
  • cup Cheese half inside the quiche and half on top
  • ½ large red pepper minced
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • pinch Pepper
  • pinch crushed red pepper
  • 2 cups Bread cubed, any will do. I used French Bread
  • 1 regular Pie Crust

Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce

  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1-3 tablespoon hot water
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Take the pie crust out of the fridge and let it get to room temperature. 
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter and add the onions.  On medium heat, cook the onions until they are a light caramel color.  
  • Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.  
  • Add to the eggs in the mixing bowl,  milk, ham, cheese, minced red pepper, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper.  Whisk with a fork until the yolks are broken and the ingredients are combined.  
  • Roll the pie crust out and lay it on a 9" pie plate.  Fit the pie crust into the pan. Using your fingers, pinch the edges to make a decorative edge, (optional)
  • Add the cubed bread to the pie plate and pour the egg mixture on top.  Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the Egg mixture.  
  • You can make this up to 24 hours ahead of time or bake soon after assembly. 
  • Bake for 60 minutes or until the edges of the egg mixture are golden brown. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.  Serve with a drizzle of the hollandaise sauce.  Enjoy!

How to make Easy Blender Hollandaise Sauce

  • In a small saucepan or microwave, melt the butter. 
  • In a blender, blend the 3 egg yolks for 2 min.  Turn the blender on low and slowly drizzle the butter into the egg yolk mixture (should take about 30-60 seconds) slowly add the lemon juice and the hot water.  Add the pinch of salt, pepper and cayenne pepper while blending.  
  • If you want your hollandaise a little thinner in consistency, slowly add 1-2 Tablespoons of hot water.
