Quick Quiches

Helllooooo Lovelies!

How is it already almost Christmas?! How did I not post anything since AUGUST? This is insane.
I apologise. Life happened.

But here I am. Back in full force with TWO new recipes!

Quiches! Every find yourself with nothing to eat and a bunch of random ingredients but no inspiration? Quiches are great for that. Today, I'm sharing two very easy recipes. Same ingredients for both, except for three.

The common ingredients

• 5 eggs
• 2/3 cup of cream (or milk)
• 1/3 cup of chopped onions
• 1/2 tsp of seasoned salt
• pepper
• 1/2 of grated cheese (if you only have strong cheese, I suggest using a bit less)
• oil for cooking
• pie crust

The three "special" ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups of chopped brocoli
• 1 1/2 cups of ground meat (I used pork for this one)
• 1-2 cup of chopped mushrooms

And here are the SUPER easy steps.

Quiche 1 (Broccoli)

1. Bake the pie crust according to the instructions (375 for 10-15 minutes). Make sure to poke holes with a fork to keep the crust from bubbling. Leave the oven on. 
2. In a large sauce pan, bring water to a boil.
3. Drop in the broccoli and blanch for about 3 minutes. 
   
4. Drain and reserve.
5. In a frying pan, over medium heat, cook the onions until soft. Reserve.
6. In a large bowl, whisk well the eggs and cream. Add the seasoned salt and pepper. 
   
7. Fill the crust with broccoli and onions. 
8. Pour egg mixture. 
9. Sprinkle the cheese on top and pop in the oven for 35-45 minutes. 
   

Serve! Easy, right? 

Now on to Quiche numero dos! (Pork and mushrooms)

1. Bake the pie crust according to the instructions (375 for 10-15 minutes). Make sure to poke holes with a fork to keep the crust from bubbling. Leave the oven on. 
2. In a frying pan, over medium heat, cook the meat.
   

   

   You can multi task and prepare the fillings for both of them at the same time!

3. Add the onions and mushrooms. Cook them until soft. Reserve
4. In a large bowl, whisk well the eggs and cream. Add the seasoned salt and pepper.
5. Fill the crust with the meat mixture.
6. Pour in egg mixture. 
7. Sprinkle the cheese on top and pop in the oven for 35-45 minutes. 
   

Serve!

You can pretty much make them with whatever you have in your pantry. Left over ham? Ham and cheese! Left over potatoes and veggies? Frittata-style Quiche! Tomatoes and olives could make a great Greek inspired one as well. They are nutritious and filling. 

Go on, give 'em a try and let me know!
