My friend Kari invited me over for a little lunch with our friend Kristine. Kari always serves up tasty things, which she always claims are "so easy." She made this quiche which I loved... and because she said it was "so easy," I had to get the recipe and give it a try. She was right, it wasn't too hard, though you have to plan ahead a little because it bakes for about 40 minutes. I made this when I was kind of in a cooking slump, and I especially liked having something different than my good old standbys.
Ingredients:
1 C sour cream
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 t onion salt
1 pkg frozen veggies (chopped broccoli, spinach, etc.) - thawed & drained
1 C cooked and chopped ham or bacon
1/2 C green onions
1 1/2 C cheddar cheese
1 1/2 C swiss or jack cheese
[1 pie shell - or make your own]
Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Make a pie shell (or just use a pre-made one).
Prick the bottom and bake about 5-8 minutes.
Mix all the ingredients together and pour into the pie shell.
Top with nuts, if desired.
Bake 35-40 minutes or until brown.
Let set for 5 minutes before cutting.
Notes:
It looks like there are lots of ways to vary it... I've only tried spinach and ham so far, and that was pretty good. Kids didn't love it the first time, but for some reason, they did the second time! Ben and I especially loved it with salsa! Yum.
