it was wrong from the start, but i kept on anyway.
I’m into the idea cooking from what’s in the fridge. Now that I actually put things in it, I don’t want some random food blog induced epiphany that will send me to the grocery store. You know, I quite like the grocery, but too many things are going to waste with each trip.
I knew I had eggs. I’d remembered David Lebovitz’s post on French tart dough. And there’s this scene in I’ve Loved You So Long that is just the family at dinner, but it is stuck in my head. So, I decided that I wanted to make a quiche.
I watched a Martha clip. Pulled out Georgeanne Brennan’s French Veg Cookbook. Then, I opened the fridge. Tah-freakin-dah. Homemade goat cheese, scallions, garlic chives, and crushed ginger.
The nikki bit. I didn’t follow a recipe for the eggy bit. (♥: Really?) I used 3 eggs. Buttermilk and plain yogurt replaced the cream. I added in a tablespoon of flour. Salt and pepper to taste. Then I added the eggs and chopped garlic chives.
Well, what happened? I wasn’t using a tart pan and didn’t evenly work the dough in the pan I was using. Hey, it was my first ever crust. So, when it came out uneven, I had the urge to, you know, touch it. Poke it, rather and made a hole. I wasn’t going to chuck it and start over. So, I just put in the scallions and goat cheese. Poured the custard and and stuck it in the oven for a half hour.
Favorite mistake, huh? Ummm, yes. This is good and super onion-y and garlic-y. I will have to brusha brusha brusha before I speak to another human.
