Easy Quiche

So technically, it's not a real quiche, but let's not split hairs. This is good stuff!!! My daughter loves it, my roommate loves it, and I'm a hero when I make it!



I got the recipe from allrecipes in 2005. I thought I'd lost it forever, but found it when we moved in with Hasseman (that's hat man in German - story for another day), our roommate, and was excited to make it for him. I usually make it with ham. That's how Lumpkin and I prefer it, but he mentioned he'd like to try it with sausage, and since Lumpkin is at her Dad's this weekend, we had it with sausage.


Yummy!!!!

Here's the recipe: Easy Quiche

2 cups milk

3/4 cup biscuit baking mix

2 eggs

1/2 cup butter softened

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 (10 ounce) package chopped frozen broccoli, thawed and drained

1 cup cubed cooked ham (or cooked sausage)

8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10 inch quiche dish.

In a large bowl, beat together milk, eggs, baking mix, butter and parmesan cheese. Batter will be lumpy. Stir ion broccoli, ham and cheddar cheese. Pour into prepared quiche dish.

Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes, until eggs are set and top is golden brown.

Now, I may have mentioned before, that I rarely follow a recipe exactly... even when I use one. I do not use a quiche dish for this because I add extra ingredients to the above and sometimes throw in some that aren't on the list. Since Lumpkin wasn't here, I added onions this time.

You should also season to taste. I use salt and pepper, a dash of seasoned salt, and garlic. You can use whatever you like! I also add more eggs... I used 4 or 5 for this one.

I'd like to say this is what my eyes look like... but that would be a lie. Yep. I've got it. Pink Eye.


Never had it before, don't much care for it. Highly contagious and still expected to be at work. Gotta love it! Anyhoo, almost the weekend.

Using some highly sexy, gunky ointment in my eyes. I haven't been able to wear any eye makeup for several days, and now I'll have to throw it all away and buy all new.

Here's to an all-girls weekend at my house! Our roommate is taking off for the weekend. I have LOTS of crafting/creating planned!!!

What's your weekend looking like?

P.S. For some reason, the white background that is supposed to show up with my posts is taking forever to load. Don't give up if you can't read it because of the polka dots. It shows up eventually!

Comfort Food

For me, comfort food usually means something substantial, and it always includes potatoes, but yesterday I wanted something sweet, so I made Maple-Cinnamon-Pecan Pull Aparts. It's a recipe that I've had since 2008 and it comes from the Pillsbury website. Oh, and there are no potatoes. ;) Let's just say that after a less than stellar weekend, my little heart needed some comfort. These are yummy! In fact, I forgot to take a picture until after I'd already eaten!

Yes... that back corner was mine!!! And it was so tasty right out of the oven with a cold glass of milk.

Maple-Cinnamon-Pecan Pull Aparts

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1/4 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon maple flavor or vanilla

1 can (17.5 oz) Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Supreme refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 8 X 4 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix all ingredients except cinnamon rolls with icing.

2. Separate dough into 5 rolls; set icing aside. Cut each roll into quarters; add to pecan mixture, tossing gently to caot. Spoon roll mixture into pan.

3. Bake 45-50 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. Turn upside down onto serving plate or platter. Spread with icing. Serve warm.

I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry to eat it! It was so pretty when it was hot and the icing was melting. Did you fix any comfort food over the weekend? See the links to blog hops in the next post!
