Going to try adding recipes...

So I'm going to try adding some recipes. I think they'll then be searchable (if you're so inclined) by using the nav menu on the left. Tonight I'll be trying a new recipe for some quiche. Don't all show your enthusiasm at once.

SPINACH AND CARROT QUICHE - serves 16

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed & well -drained
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 9 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 (9 inch) pie crusts (frozen or fresh)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onions until tender. Mix in the spinach, and carrots, and cook until the spinach liquid has evaporated. Remove skillet from heat, and mix in cheese, milk and eggs. Season with salt, and pepper. Pour 1/2 the mixture into each pie shell.
  3. Bake 1 hour in preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a quiche comes out clean.
NOTE: I used reduced fat milk and reduced fat cheese and this turned out just scrumptious. So, need to go full fat!
