Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (like Swiss or cheddar)
- 1 cup chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, or onions)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Turkey bacon (optional, for a protein boost)
- 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 cups pineapple, diced
- 1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- 1 cup grits
- 4 cups water or broth
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (like sharp cheddar)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A sprinkle of paprika (for flair)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your pie crust in a pie dish. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until creamy. Add your chopped veggies and cheese. Pour the mixture into the crust and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden and set.
- Combine strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and kiwi in a large bowl. Drizzle with honey and lime juice, gently tossing to combine. Chill in the refrigerator.
- Bring the water or broth to a boil in a pot. Gradually stir in the grits, then reduce heat to low. Cook until creamy, stirring frequently (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in heavy cream, cheese, and butter until combined and velvety. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add shrimp and sprinkle with salt and paprika, cooking until they turn golden (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove from heat and mix with the creamy grits.
- Slice the quiche into wedges, serve alongside a generous scoop of fruit salad, and finish with a warm bowl of shrimp and grits. Gather around the table, and dig in!
