Father's Day has become a day to honor not only your father, but all
men who have acted as father figures to you. Stepfathers, uncles,
grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored on Father's Day.
Several years ago there was a relatively successful publication about
the supposed desire of "real men" to avoid quiche. The Cook And
Kitchen Staff want you to know that many men eat quiche -- they just
won't tell you how much they enjoy it.  Today's recipe is in honor of
quiche-eating Fathers and father-figures  everywhere, because any meal
prepared by a son or daughter for their  Father or father-figure on
Father's Day is a great way to say,  "Thanks for having a positive
influence in my life" and "I'm glad  you've been there for me when I
needed you the most." Now, let them  eat quiche!  In lightly salted
water, cook the potatoes by boiling for 20 minutes.  When they are cool
enough to handle, slice and reserve.  In a large skillet, warm olive
oil over medium heat. Brown minced  meat, onion, garlic, and basil for
8 to 15 minutes until well-cooked  and broken down into small bits of
meat. Drain if necessary. Return  browned meat to the skillet and add
Worcestershire sauce, mustard,  and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to
blend and keep the meat sauce  warm over low heat.  Preheat oven to
375-F degrees. Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the  bottom of a
single 9 by 13-inch or two 8-inch round baking pans.  Spoon the meat
filling over the top of the bread crumbs. Place potato  slices and
cheese cubes over the meat. Pour well-beaten eggs (or an  egg
substitute) over the meat, potato, and cheese layers, and  sprinkle
sliced almonds on the top.  Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the center
of the quiche is solid.  Serve warm with a green salad.  Kitchen Staff
Tips: The quantity of eggs used to prepare this recipe  can vary
greatly, depending on the size of the eggs and the baking  pan or pans
used to bake the quiche.  Any way you prepare it, just make sure the
eggs cover the top of the  meat in a thin layer. If your Dad is
watching his cholesterol, this  recipe is great for utilizing an egg
substitute! Posted to  dailyrecipe@recipe-a-day.com by Recipe-a-Day
