Otis Redding – The Very Best of Otis Redding: This beginner quiche recipe pairs perfectly with this beginner Otis Redding album. Classic and comforting, romantic and soulful: the voice of Otis will instantly lift your spirits. Now, imagine listening to this album while cooking up an incredibly delicious and satisfying quiche for your family. Day or night, these two make a perfect match.
Ok – once again I invited over a bunch of family members for dinner. It is always such a test for me to figure out what I can make that will please a crowd. Then I figured – Breakfast for Dinner. Who doesn’t like eggs? (Well, actually, it turns out one person in my family doesn’t. Can’t win them all, I guess!)
This recipe doesn’t require you take make a crust, but it does have a bit of a crust-like density added to it. You can add in whatever veggies and cheese you want, so you can make it to please pretty much anybody you want. Or better yet – make it with YOUR favorite veggies & cheese and tell everyone else to go to hell. (I’m just joking!! Just tell them to go out for dinner if they don’t like it.)
Serve breakfast dishes with mimosas and Bloody Mary’s – no matter what time of day.
- 5 – 6 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ lb mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1-cup broccoli (chopped into bite-size pieces)
- 4 oz sliced mushrooms
- ¼ onion
- 1 to 2 tsp minced garlic
- ½ cup bisquick (use a gluten-free pancake mix if you prefer)
- Spices, salt & pepper
How we did it:
- Pre-heat oven to 375º.
- Blanch the broccoli. (Boil a small pot of water, and have a bowl of ice water ready. Add the chopped broccoli to the boiling water and cook for about 1 minute. Drain the broccoli and put into the bowl of ice water to stop from cooking. When cooled, drain thoroughly.)
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium sized skillet. Add onions and garlic and cook for a few minutes on medium until the onions are clear. Put aside in a small bowl.
- In same sauté pan, add the sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Cook on medium low so that they release their juices. Turn heat up to help that juice evaporate and they will brown a bit. Add mushrooms to the bowl with onions & garlic.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and milk. Whisk thoroughly.
- Stir in the bisquick mix and blend.
- Add spices, salt and pepper. (I like to add an Italian blend to this dish – parsley, oregano and basil). A little bit of crushed red pepper is great if you like a little heat in your dishes.
- Stir in the cheese and veggies.
- Pour into a casserole dish or pie pan.
Cooking times will vary depending on the type of dish you have. For a heavier ceramic dish, you’ll need to allow the dish to cook longer to set up thoroughly. Allow 30 – 45 minutes to cook – it should be cooked so that it is solid all the way through and browned nicely on top.
