If At First...

The annual departmental pot-luck is this afternoon.

As I did last year, I'm bringing a quiche.

This time, I remembered to add the flour...

*blink* You put flour in your quiche? I don't think I've ever seen a quiche recipe that calls for flour. (Except in the crust, of course.)

In the recipe that I use (from the Moosewood Cookbook) the top layer is a milk-and-egg custard. If I don't add flour, it doesn't set. The quiche still tastes OK, but it's runny, and for some reason that puts people off.

How interesting.

Yeah, I can see how runny quiche would put people off. They probably assume it's undercooked egg.
