ReRun

I apologize, y’all, for this recipe rerun. I had intended to get the tutorial for reverse appliqued t-shirts up today but after gardening and errands and ironing and a return trip to Target and cooking and conducting an impromptu burial service for an unfortunate baby rabbit I found myself unequal to doing the tutorial properly. That, and my computer is as slow as all get out right now.

Thus, the rerun.

Though, it might be helpful for some of you who haven’t seen it before. And, I know that it is difficult to locate recipes on my site if you don’t already know that they are there. So, there you go.

I hope that your Saturday was great!

Crustless Savory Quiche

3 eggs
1 3 oz. package cream cheese
1 12 oz. carton small curd cottage cheese
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt
Pepper to taste
1/2 cup milk
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cooked chopped ham or cooked bacon
2 T. minced green or yellow onion
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (optional but they are great)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a 9 inch pie plate. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat egs. Beat in cream cheese, cottage cheese and butter until almost smooth.
4. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Stir in egg mixture until thoroughly blended. Beat in milk. Pour into prepared pie plate.
5. Sprinkle with cheese and ham. Sprinkle with green onions and mushrooms.
6. Bake 30-40 minutes.

Some notes:
I usually double this recipe and freeze one of the quiches. It freezes and reheats really well. Just bake the quiche and wrap it tightly before freezing. Most kids love this. To get it to squeak by my sensors I usually use chopped yellow onion instead of the green. We actually like the way that the sweet yellow onion tastes, even though it isn’t as pretty. Also, when you are putting the toppings on the quiche, it is best to put the most around the edges and use less in the center. I find that the toppings always migrate toward the center, anyway, so don’t worry about it not having enough there.
