Courtesy of Hurricane Sandy, my little nugget’s daycare was cancelled today. We got a lot done together – some fabulous fall DIY – but more on that later. Towards the end of the evening, whipping winds & threatening clouds looming, Trip and I had a toddler goo-goo-ga-ga conversation and decided not to venture out for groceries. Inspired by Candie’s home-baked gluten-free chocolate chip pumpkin cookies, we shopped in our fridge… and freezer for something to warm up the oven with. And here’s the delicious result:
Easy Quiche Made With Love & Leftovers
Recipe for basic quiche:
- Frozen Pre-Made Pie Crust
- 4 Eggs
- 3/4 cup Half & Half
- 8oz Cheese
- 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
- Salt & Pepper
Leftovers I chopped up & added:
- Honey ham deli sandwich meat
- Random cheeses from the fridge – mozzarella, cheddar and american – yeah, I went there
- Sauteed spinach
Other possibilities if you prefer:
- Cherry tomatoes or normal tomatoes, chopped
- Gruyere cheese
- Onion, Peppers
- Sausage
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 F
- Saute your veggies in some olive oil
- Mix eggs, Half & Half, nutmeg and some salt in a bowl
- Add veggies and cheeses to egg mixture, stir
- Pour all of it into the pie crust
- Bake for 35-40 minutes (mine took 40) until nothing sticks to a toothpick you stick in the center
- Enjoy the delicious home-baked aroma
- Let cool for 10 minutes
- Sprinkle salt & pepper on top
Hubby was ecstatic that such a delicious dinner was waiting for him when he walked through the door… and an extra bonus: this is a two dish meal (mixing bowl and frying pan) so there was barely any cleanup! Yum. Win win win. Perfect for a fall day when you just don’t want to venture out for supplies. What are you cooking up for easy dinners these days?
