Quiche! I absolutely love quiche. Few foods make me happier than a good vegetarian quiche. This recipe is sort of half Betty Crocker, half made up as I go along, hehe:
Crust (for either a nine or ten inch deep dish pie pan):
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon shortening
3 tablespoons cold water
mix together the flour and salt, cut in shortening, moisten with water to gather in a ball to spread into the pie pan.
Filling:
5 eggs
2 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Basically just whisk all this together in a large bowl.
You can pretty much put anything into it and any kind of cheese, but I like to cut up 2 small vine tomatoes and a bunch of green olives in mine with cheddar cheese. Basically, put your vegetables or what have you into the crust, put about a cup of grated cheese over it, and then slowly pour in the egg mixture. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees and reduce the heat to 300 degrees for 30 more minutes, and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Yummy! That pic looks sooo good.
I forgot to add a recipe of my own! This is a modified one from my co-worker:
Melt in your mouth chocolate cake:
7 oz. butter (14 tbsp)
7 3/4 oz. good quality dark chocolate
1 1/4 cups of sugar
5 eggs
1 rounded tbsp of flour *not a typo*
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter and chocolate together (double boiler is good but I use a microwave), stir in sugar and allow to cool a little. Then you mix each egg in, making sure you stir well. At the very end, add the flour (LOL, yes, only a tbsp) and mix.
Then you pour it into an 8 inch cake pan and bake it for 35 minutes. When you pull it out, it may be trembly, but that's how it's supposed to be. It's so smooth and creamy... It literally does melt in your mouth.
