1 frozen "deep dish" pie crust, thawed
1 cup shredded cheese of choice
1/2 cup shredded carrot (we used chopped sweet potato...turned out really good!)
1/3 cup sliced green onions (about 3)
1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
4 slightly beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half (light cream or milk can be used)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
Bake thawed pie crust at 450F for 8 minutes with a double thickness of foil covering it. Remove foil. Bake for 4-5 minutes more or till pastry is set and dry. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 325F.
Toss together cheese, carrot, green onions and flour. Sprinkle mixture over the bottom of pie crust.
In a bowl, combine eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Pour egg mixture into the hot pie crust. Bake at 325F for 35-40 minutes or until center of quiche is set and no longer runny. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6-8 servings.
