Easy Spinach Quiche
Get out your blender for this one...
1/2 C. frozen chopped onion
6 eggs
1 C. milk
1/2 C. biscuit/pancake mix
salt & pepper
1 C. frozen chopped spinach, squeezed dry (add more if you like)
1 package real bacon bits
1 C. shredded Swiss cheese
2 frozen pie crusts (regular not deep dish)
Blend first 4 ingredients in blender until well blended and add salt & pepper to taste. I used a hand blender like this one. Remember my blender exploded last week on the milk shakes :/ It worked great.
Add spinach and pulse to mix. Place blender pitcher in refrigerator until ready to use. Use within 2 days.
Pour equal amounts (eye ball it) of bacon bits and cheese into pie crusts. I would normally have alot more bacon bits but I forgot them at the store and I had a small package leftover from another recipe. Cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.
To bake
Place crusts on large cookie sheet to make transporting easier.
Pour egg mixture equally into pie crusts over bacon and cheese. Yes, that is cheddar cheese you see there. I forgot the Swiss cheese too.
Most of these recipes are easily adaptable to what you have on hand. Just think of the possibilities. Bacon/cheddar, ham/cheese, broccoli/feta, mushroom/bacon/blue cheese.....
Serve with fresh fruit of choice.
I think I will make 4 or 5 batches of this. Quiche freezes so well raw or cooked. Making these ahead can really make weekend breakfast a breeze!!
Two of my kids said... ewwww is that spinach?.....They each ate 2 big pieces and loved it!
For a leaner version, cook without a crust in a pie plate sprayed with non stick spray.
