Have you ever noticed all of my descriptions are listed in threes? I just noticed that. It’s part of my OCD issues I guess. I’m OCD and ADHD. My friends say I go down “bunny trails” and usually never come back. Until a day or so later. Or when I wake up at 3 am realizing I never finished a story.

I admit, it takes a lot to keep me focused. That’s why the kitchen is my friend. I can multi-task and the smell of smoke usually alerts me I have deviated from my path. Or a sharp pain running the length of my arm when I slice into a finger while watching the pretty birds from my kitchen window.

Take this potato pie with goat cheese for example.  It started out as a quiche with breakfast potatoes as a side. Then somehow morphed into this. I certainly can’t complain. God knows I love quiche and potatoes are my dream food.

I really try very hard to stay focused while I cook. Especially for guests. But sometimes…LOOK!! SQUIRREL!

Directions:

Grease pie plate or tin well. Place crust in plate. Add one layer of potatoes, one layer of spinach, another layer of potatoes, and a layer of red onion. Top with crumbled goat cheese. In a mixing bowl whisk eggs, cream, Nutmeg, salt & pepper. Pour over layered ingredients. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until done. Quiche is done when the top is golden brown, but the center still has a slight wiggle. It will continue to cook as it sits. To keep quiches of any kind light and fluffy, do not over bake.
