My Husband Is The Chef

And the reason I am stating that is so when I post last night's insane dinner failure, you won't expect that my food knowledge exceeds what my husband has managed to sink into my dense skull.

I started out good-- or so I thought-- with a delicious looking idea from Pinterest. I had all the ingredients -- leftover spiral ham I pulled out of the freezer, eggs, a tube of refrigerated biscuits, some zucchini -- sounds good, right? I have been wanting quiche for a while and this was supposed to be a kind of knock-off, easy to make quiche-esque dish.

Supposed to be.

Needless to say, we ended up going out for dinner last night. Next time, I'll leave the real quiche making for my husband and skip the shortcuts!

 

As you can see.... disasterous!

 

My husband, being the extremely intelligent man that he is, decided it wouldn't be best to point out my (or the Pinterest recipe's) failures right that moment -- or day!  First off, he told me that using refrigerated biscuit dough would never work... as it always rises a ton.  Secondly, I probably put a tad too many eggs for the size pan I was using.  And lastly, vegetables contain a lot of water.  So, its best to cook them first before adding them to anything like this, so the water is already cooked out and doesn't effect the outcome of sensitive food items, like eggs. 

I appreciate the learning experience, but like I said... My husband can make some real quiche for me next time I feel like having it.... if ever!
