On this special Valentine’s Day edition of Marti’s Music Kitchen, The FUN Music and Food Podcast, Where Anything Can Happen … my guest is Portland’s Queen of Classical, Suzanne Nance. She is an award-winning broadcaster, amazingly talented soprano, President and CEO of All-Classical Portland and host of Sunday Brunch. Suzanne has a passion for cooking, and will share her own recipe for a delicious Quiche Lorraine with a special hash brown crust.“I was thinking, you know, why not make quiche, and why not make it friendly for our gluten-free friends. … I’m not a gluten-free person, but I have so many friends who are…. So the idea of a hash-brown crust… it’s healthier, and it’s really tasty and it’s gluten-free!”As an added treat, Pianist, David Saffert will be joining us in the kitchen, so we have a LIVE performance from this down-to-earth Anti-Diva Diva! AND Suzanne and Marti team up for a Jazz and Scat Duet!! What are Suzanne’s tips for making the perfect quiche? And what’s behind her love of driving? Tune in to hear her stories of food, music and life-on-the road.https://www.oregonwinepress.com/classic-pairingshttp://www.suzannenance.com/index.phphttps://www.allclassical.org https://www.facebook.com/DavidSaffertPiano/ http://MartiMendenhall.com http://Patreon.com/MartiMendenhallhttp://OregonMusicNews.comSuzanne Nance’s Hash Brown Crust Quiche Lorraine:Ingredients: Hash Brown Crust1 package (1 pound) frozen, organic hash brown potatoes, thawedShredded cheddar cheeseGrated parmesan cheese1 eggSalt and pepperQuiche Pastry for a one-crust nine-inch pie 4 strips bacon1 onion, thinly sliced1 cup Gruyère or Swiss cheese, cubed¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese4 eggs, lightly beaten2 cups heavy cream or 1 cup each milk and cream¼ teaspoon nutmeg½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper Tabasco sauce to tasteDirections: Hash Brown CrustPreheat the oven to 400°F.
