Spring Quiche

With the new camera things went better, but it still needs a lot of work. Work in progress, coming through!

This recipe is one I know I originally got off a box of some kind, then tweaked to my liking. It is yummers and also has veggies and lots of protein, so it makes a good core dish for a spring celebration without being, you know, A HUGE HUNK O' MEAT.

The recipe is:

16 oz swiss cheese, shredded or cubed

8 eggs

2 cups of 2% milk

2 knorr veggie soup mixes (Spring mix, if you can find it)

1 cup chopped spinach (Steamed chopped spinach is easier to work with,

but in the end as long as you have a cup full of finely chopped spinach, you're golden)

2 crusts

When I go my apple pie for this blog in a few weeks, I'm going to do an entry for a crust from scratch, but here I use two pre-made crusts.

And here is the smashing result. Om nom nom nom!

PS. I cheated! Did you notice where? RIGHT in the middle of my blog entry I noticed my hubby had used an egg to make something this morning while I was out :P So this is a 7 egg, not an 8 egg quiche! Oh the huge MANATEE!

Test test test

So my first installment went rather crappily, but hey, I said I would do it and I did it. Yayeee! Plus the food was yummy. *erp* I will go back to using full chicken breasts rather than the fillets, since these are the eensiest bit dry in comparison to this recipe's normal turnout, but other than that, the food itself went to plan.

Now if only the lighting/timing/photography work could have followed suit.

This is a recipe we call 'Chicken Stuff' in my family. It originally had a much fancier name, but that has gone the way of the, "I don't give a crap." For a long time my SIL was notorious for making it, then she stopped cooking and my brother made it, then he lost time for cooking and the yummy torch of deliciousness was passed to me. And now to you.

Lol. Love the freeze frame it chose. "My chest. Let me show you it."

My poor camera. "What are you DOING? Limited video ONLY!"

Since its totally not clear, when I say, "Go, shoo, begone with you!" I am talking to a piece of shallot skin that made it into the mix. Yeah, nothing ELSE made it into the food, I promise :P

Blast! Camera ran out of batteries. I dump the sherry and the mushrooms in while I switch batteries and then....

Oh look! If you turn the light on, its not so dark!
