I am bit by the baking bug, for sure. I dont know or cant say how much I have been spending on for baking ware and other things related to baking. It has turned out to be passions. I am loving every bit of it! So, there isn’t even a drop of regret/guilt when it comes to buying so much stuff. After my tomato bread adventure, my hands were still restless and I wanted to try something else. Thats when I stumbled up on Edible Garden. This food blog has awesome recipes with yummy looking photos. I wanted to make use of the mushrooms and eggs lying in my refrigerator. I found a perfect recipe. Decided to prepare it for the dinner. It came out wonderful.. except for a few disasters.
My mushrooms weren’t fresh. I got to know that only after I started the pastry preparation 🙁 which meant S (husband) had to run down to the store again to buy fresh ones. In my attempt to bake this dish, I got a new tart pan yesterday and it happened to be big for only 2 of us.. Under-estimating the tin size, I prepared the pastry dough and it fell short. i had to make another batch again to stick on the sides and what did I know? It again fell short and I prepared third batch too. I kept the pastry in the fridge and while lifting, I took it by placing a hand below - which is a HUGE mistake. Dont ever do that. I had disturbed the pastry on an end and when I filled my quiche with milk+egg+ cheese mixture, the tart gave in and I had a huge mess. I lot 2-3 tablespoon of the milk mixture which had me cribbing for 2 hrs atleast.
Inspite of all this, the quiche was wonderful.. the pastry was absolutely gorgeous. For the spicy people that we are.. this big quiche was kind of so much for the two of us. Next time, I am planning to prepare a smaller one.. with some variations in the stuffing 🙂
