A Special Recipe for Mother's Day!

As Mother's Day arrives this weekend, it's once again time to think about that person we too often take for granted... Mom!  So why not turn the tables this weekend and cook her a special breakfast... ideally served in bed, with a rose bud and an extra hug!  
And we have just the recipe that will warm her heart and bring a loving smile to her face... our scrumptious Apple Cheddar Quiche.  Based on a recipe from Captain Schoonmaker's B&B in High Falls, NY, it has become a favorite of our guests here at the Apple Bin Inn, and we know your Mom will feel pampered when you serve it to her!

 

Apple Cheddar Quiche at the Apple Bin Inn

Ingredients:

1 unbaked pie crust                                                    

2 large apples                                                             
¼ cup sugar                                                                
Cinnamon to taste

6 eggs  

1 cup Half & Half

1 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese           

-  Preheat oven to 350^o F. 

-  Peel, core, and slice apples.  Sauté in butter.  Halfway through, add cinnamon and sugar,

and continue cooking until apples are fork tender.

-  Place unbaked pie crust in quiche pan.

-  Place cooked apples on the bottom. Cover with cheese.  Beat eggs and Half & Half together and pour over apples and cheese.  Swirl any syrup left from the apples over the top before baking (you can also save a few apple slices to place on top). 

-  Bake 40 to 50 minutes until filling is set.  Cut like pie, and serve with sausage or bacon.  

Complete her plate with a sprig of mint leaves or grapes.

Accompany with a small bowl of fresh strawberries with french vanilla yogurt and brown sugar,

along with orange juice, and coffee or tea, and Mom will smile for days! 

Warm wishes for a Happy Mother's Day,

from our family to yours!
