Savory Pie is a Quiche

Foraging in the garden and hen house this morning, I found eggs (the chickens know that spring is near)
winter greens, leeks and thyme. All perfect for baking a pie this evening.



Foraged ingredients for the pie

 For the dough

1-2 cups flour depending on size of pan
Butter
salt
a few drops of cold water

Basic mix for the filling

3-4 eggs
cream or milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Filling

winter greens blanched and sauteed in butter
leeks sauteed in butter
wild turkey breast, cooked and shredded
Parmesan cheese, grated
fresh thyme, chopped


Make pie dough and allow to rest in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 F.
Beat eggs with cream and season with salt and pepper. Grease pie pan and roll out dough
with dusted flour on counter. Cover pie pan with dough and trim the edges. Arrange meat
and grated cheese and veggies on pie and top with cream/egg mix and sprinkle with herbs.
Bake until golden brown ~30 minutes, depending on size of pan.
Serve warm or cold.
