Chicken Liver Quiche
The problem with the French names for some very good dishes is that they sound so fancy and difficult that you are afraid to try them. Don't let the name scare you. A quiche is nothing more than an egg and onion pie. This one is fancied up with chicken livers. Try it.
CHICKEN LIVER QUICHE
9 inch pastry pie shell
3 eggs
4 slices bacon
6 ounces chicken livers
Salt and pepper
1 cup light cream or milk
1 tablespoon instant minced onion
Dash of nutmeg
Dash of cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon flour
Brush unbaked pie shell with a little of one of the egg whites. Set aside. Dice bacon and fry crisp. Drain. In 1 tablespoon bacon drippings, fry chicken livers until browned and cooked through. Chop fine and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine cream and minced onion. Season with nutmeg, cayenne and the 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add bacon and liver mixture. Set aside.
