FIRST TIME QUICHE, WILL NOT BE THE LAST.

Ingredients for the pastry...

1 3/4 Cups of Flour
1 Stick of Butter
1 Teaspoon of Salt
1 Teaspoon of Baking Powder
1/4 Cup of Ice Water

Ingredients for the quiche...

Tomatoes
Asparagus
Red Onion
Spinach
Bacon
Gruyere Cheese
5 Eggs

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
If you have a little Cuisinart food processor (God's gift to the baking world), making pastry dough is no thing. Mix (pulse about 3 times) flour, salt and baking powder. Next, dice 1 stick of butter and add to your powdered ingredients. Pulse 5 or 6 times. Then add your ice water, the most important ingredient of all. Pulse 10 times, until the dough looks like little peas. Transfer onto a hard surface and knead a little (even though this is nothing like bread dough) and shape into a disk and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

In a pan I cooked some asparagus in olive oil, when done, I set aside to cool. Then I cooked up some bacon. Yes! Again, when done, I set aside to cool. Next, I chopped up 2 tomatoes and some red onion .

After an hour, I removed my dough from the refrigerator and rolled it, shaped it just like a pie crust and placed it in a buttered dish, ready for the egg pool of delight. (That doesn't sound so appetizing, and this is why I am really not a cook nor do I write cookbooks.)

In a bowl I cracked 5 eggs and whisked away. I then added all of these fabulous ingredients: tomato, asparagus, bacon, and red onion. Pour into the dish, and top with a layer of spinach and then a thick layer of Gruyere cheese. Cook until golden brown and firm. About 25 minutes.
