This recipe came from "The Coupon Saver's Cookbook" by Beryl Marton, copyright 1980. I've seen several articles lately about how couponing is coming back into vogue in these tough times. I can remember back in the '80s buying cheap little frozen pizzas on sale with coupons and then stretching them to go further with this recipe.
Pizza Quiche
1 frozen commercial pizza, 9-in or so
1 onion, chopped fine
2 tablespoons olive oil
(1/4 pound sliced mushrooms)
(Cooked bacon, crumbled)
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 to 2 cups milk (reconstituted dry milk)
1/8 to 1/4 cup grated Cheddar or Parmesan cheese
Defrost the pizza and press it into a 9 or 10 inch pie pan. Saute the onion in the oil until limp and add the mushrooms (if you want) and saute about 5 minutes. Cover the pizza with these vegetables and cooked bacon crumbles (if used). Beat the eggs with salt and pepper and 1/2 cup milk. Pour over the onions and mushrooms. Add more milk as needed to fill the pie pan. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (Put it on a cookie sheet if you worry about drips. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
In the summer our treat when I don't feel like cooking is to bake a frozen pizza. We like the cheap, thin cheese ones, none of this self-rising crust for us. But when I feel like doing a little more, I make this quiche.
