Baked Quiche Fondue

Combine the goodness of a quiche with the gooey cheesiness of a fondue for a baked appetizer treat

Baked Quiche Fondue

1 garlic clove
4 Tablespoons butter, softened
4 slices white bread
8 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated
2 eggs
2 cups milk
¼ cup mustard (spicy brown on Dijon)
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Use the peeled garlic clove to rub all sides and bottom of a 7x11x2-inch baking dish. Spread 2 Tablespoons butter on the sides and bottom, also. Coat the bread (one side only) with the remaining butter. Place them in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. They should fit snugly or can be trimmed to fill the space. Spread grated cheese evenly across all four slices.

In a bowl, add the eggs, milk, mustard, and black pepper. Beat well and pour over bread slices. Allow to rest at room temperature for about half an hour. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the top begins to brown and the egg mixture is done throughout. Remove and cut into any size for immediate serving.
