Re: Quiche Recipes

I have a delicious WW spinach & 4-cheese one at home- I'll look for it tonight & send it to you

eta recipe- this is crustless- but you can get the frozen crusts and throw the ingredients in there and it comes out delish. Note- I never bother to sautee the onions- I just throw them in since I'm lazy lol

5 points- 5 cheese Spinach Quiche

2 spray(s) cooking spray
1 cup(s) onion(s), yellow, sliced
10 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained
1 cup(s) fat-free ricotta cheese
3/4 cup(s) Kraft Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese, or other brand
2 slice(s) Borden Fat Free Singles American Cheese, or other brand, torn
1/4 cup(s) fat-free blue cheese dressing
3 large egg(s), lightly beaten
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup(s) SoyaKaas Grated Parmesan Style Soy Cheese, or similar product

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat a 9-inch nonstick pie pan with cooking spray.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

Transfer onions to a large bowl and add spinach, ricotta, cheddar cheese, American cheese, salad dressing, eggs, mustard, oregano, salt and black pepper; mix until well blended. Spoon mixture into prepared pan and smooth top with back of a spoon. Sprinkle with grated cheese topping.

Bake until a knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing into 6 pieces.

Re: Quiche Recipes

I have a base recipe that I made up:

Store bought pie crust
7 Eggs (I don't know why 7-6 is not enough, 8 is too many )
1/2 cup Milk (any type-I usually use skim)
1/2 cup Cheddar cheese
Salt
Pepper
Bake at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes then turn heat down to 350 degrees F for another 15 minutes.

Then I add whatever vegetables I'm in the mood for. My favorite one I've made so far is asparagus & cherry tomato. I roast the tomatoes and asparagus with a little salt, pepper, and olive oil for about 20 minutes. Let cool then add to egg mixture.

I also like a spinach quiche-just frozen chopped spinach defrosted and squeezed.

4 ounces shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons butter, melted
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups milk

Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, until set. Serve hot or cold.



FYI, hormel makes real bacon bits in a jar, and you should be able to substitute them for the 8 slices. They tell you right on the jar how much equals one slice. Might be cheaper to do the real bacon, but if you're in a rush or don't feel like dirtying a pan and waiting for bacon (READ: if you're lazy like me), the hormel bacon bits work! They are yummy too.

I use those all the time in my quiches. I eyeball everything-it's so hard to actually give someone a recipe. DH will be like I want to make those potatoes you make-what's the recipe?

So - dumb question.

'store bought pie crust' = frozen one in metal pan, or pillsbury rolled out one? And do I defrost or bake in it frozen?

I use the pillsbury rolled out one-if you tell I will have to kill you. I just defrost in the fridge overnight.
