What's Cooking?

Last night was a white perch fish fry with toasted butternut squash. We also pan fried the roe from one of the perch. Not much flavor but consistency made you aware that you were eating roe.

      After the @rps post awhile back I have been hankering for Quiche. Pat used to make it regularly several years ago but we kind of quit it. So, when he posted his quiche, I said I would like to try one with morels. Today that happened with some of our finds. I looked for recipes and found one I thought we would like and like we did, yum! Morel mushroom Quiche with caramelized onions. Laying out the ingredients. Morels, red onions, fresh thyme from our garden and minced garlic.

    Much sautéing going on here,

 We then assembled by layering the cooked onions on the bottom, over that went the morels and juices from butter and what the morels released. Then the liquid element went over and into that. it was 4 eggs, sour cream and whole milk and some S&P. Into the oven to bake, no quiche pan but there was a Wagner ARC #8 skillet circa 1915 - 1920s involved .  Sliced and plated salad on the side. 

    I ate this and another slice. I rate this as one of my favorites. Hoping to do this again in a couple weeks if the shrooms are still here and again this summer subbing chanterelles for the morels.

Probably a good idea you sleep on the porch.

          HAHAHAHA,

   Well inside now a bit earlier than normal. The bed frame broke (insert joke here). Not going to worry about a replacement until fall.

          Bear with me here,

  Morel season is short so ignore the grilled duck and salad which I post often but please feast with your eyes the morel fry that goes with the rest of the meal. Enough to share if you were here.

BilletHead I saw you Quiche and I think I am going to give it a try but will either add some bacon or ham in it. Usually just batter morels up and fry them in some butter and oil and eat them with ranch or some hot sauce. Made some mushroom soup the other day and really liked it so want to try some new ways to use these wonderful finds. Took a 6 year old grandson out the other day and after showing him what to look for he found several by himself. He is a picky eater and watched me fry a bunch up and said he did not want any. I finally talked him into trying one, he took the smallest bite possible and started to put it down and about 1/2 back to the plate he stopped and put the whole thing in his mouth and then ate the last five on the plate. Today we were going to grill some burgers and cook fries and he told me he didn't want the burger he only want some fries and some more mushrooms. I guess he is hooked. He is going to be really disappointed in a few week when they quit growing. Saying that I will be disappointed myself. Keep put up good dishes we can all try.

Ok I just cooked that Quiche, Egg Pie if you don't like the word. I added about a 1/2 cup of cooked bacon bites, 1 cup diced ham and about 1/3 cup pepper jack cheese. Added some Ring of Fire hot sauce to top it off. I ate two slices and wish I could have eaten more. But it will make a good breakfast in the morning. Wife made a fruit salad and a broccoli/bacon salad to go with it. We are keeping this recipe and will eat again.
