TEENY MCMUNN: MY RECIPE BOX

Quiche is a bit like stir fry; most anything can go into it. This one caught my attention because for some reason we have three dozen eggs in the refråigerator. I like a breakfast dinner, so for me, this would be dinner with fried potatoes and fruit. Quiche is good for all three meals and is easily warmed up.

INGREDIENTS:

½ c. light mayonnaise

½ c. milk

4 eggs, lightly beaten

8 oz shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

1 -10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

¼ c. chopped onion

1-9 inch unbaked pie shell

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil.

In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and milk until smooth. Whisk in eggs. Layer spinach, cheese, and onion in pie shell, making several layers of each. Pour in egg mixture. Place quiche on prepared cookie sheet. Cover quiche with foil.

Bake for 45 minutes. Remove cover and bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until top is golden brown and filing is set.

MY NOTES: Add your choice of meats, if you like, as well as other vegetables. I like broccoli so will add that. I will use regular (not reduced fat) cheese and probably part cheddar and part swiss.

I believe the pie shells come in a package of two. If so, I'll make two quiches and freeze one. Perfect for a night that I don't have much time to make a dinner, or to take on my next visit to see my grandkids for an easy and quick lunch.
