With the days of high food prices upon us, we shouldn’t throw out food. You’ve got a couple spoons of meat or veggies leftover? Give it to the dog or use those little leftovers for soups, casseroles and quiches (aka meat pies for the men out there).
Quick Basic Quiche
4 eggs
1 to 1 1/2 C milk, half and half, or cream (with water to dilute it)
8 oz. cheese, shredded
Spray pie plate or small baking pan with cooking spray. Save out half the cheese and stir together the above in a pie plate. Stir in your leftovers. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes until the dairy is set and the top is golden.
Note - The higher the fat content of the milk/cream, the less time it takes to cook through so adjust cooking times. Or add another egg to help firmness of low fat milk.
Combinations could be:
Spinach/ham/swiss cheese
Bacon/onion/swiss
Green chilies/onion/cheddar
Ground beef/mushroom/combo of leftover cheese
Sausage/bell pepper/mozzarella
Mixed veggies/american or velveeta
Combinations don’t really matter. Throw in that last bit of salad, those four chicken nuggets (chopped) and two spoons of corn from last night’s supper, add salsa and cheddar and you’ve got tonight’s mexican dinner.
