Fancy Fast Food

Fancy Fast Food is a website that features recipes for extreme makeovers of actual fast food items purchased at actual fast food restaurants. I present to you the BK Quiche (Fancy Croissan’wich & Biscuit):

Ingredients (for two mini quiches):
  • 1 Burger King Croissan’wich (with ham) meal, with hash browns and a coffee
  • 1 Burger King Ham, Egg & Cheese biscuit meal, with hash browns and an orange juice
  • 1 bottle of water

Disassemble the two breakfast sandwiches into its ingredients: eggs, bread, and ham. (The cheese will probably be melted and stuck onto the bread or ham, but that’s okay.) Break apart the biscuit and croissant into smaller pieces and put them all into a food processor. Add about 2 tbsp. of bottled water and blend; it will soon turn back into a doughy substance. Mold the dough into non-stick quiche pans.

Next, place all the eggs in the food processor, plus ham and hash browns to your liking. Blend that down to a scramble and then fill the crusts. Bake for 10 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 350°F, or until the crust becomes a golden brown.

Let it cool, then serve the quiche with coffee in a fancy cup, and orange juice in a wine glass. Why have it your way, when you can have it the fancy way?

I was also quite impressed with the Tacobellini (Fancy Burrito Supreme) but the McSteak & Potatoes (Fancy Big Mac) still looked way too much like a disassembled Big Mac to me and thus not even remotely appetizing. I'm eagerly awaiting a KFC-based recipe but to be honest I think one would be hard pressed to improve on what is already culinary perfection.

[Update: The Colonel’s Chicken Corn Chowder (Fancy KFC) is a pretty good effort but there's still just no replacing the original recipe.]
