Quiche Recipies

Spinach Quiche:

I deep dish pie shell (I forgot, but you might need 2...)
2 pkgs. chopped leaf spinach (larger bag, in the frozen section)
1 large container cottage cheese
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
2 eggs (beaten)
salt/pepper to taste
1/4 large yellow onion, chopped small
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese to top (if you do end up having 2 pies, just double the cheese for topping)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Thaw the frozen spinach completely and squeeze/strain till all access liquid is out. Dump in a large mixing bowl along with the cheeses, onions, salt, pepper, and beaten eggs. Miz well and scoop into pie shell(s). Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over; bake for 45~ or so minutes, until crispy and light brown on top.

Sausage-Egg Quiche:

3/4 pound Italian sausage
1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced or diced
1/3 cup green pepper (optional)
1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 tablespoon flour
1 deep-dish pie crust
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup evaporated milk
1 tbs parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon seasoned or plain salt
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Remove sausage from casing and brown in skillet. Drain sausage, reserving 2 tbs fat. Sauté onion and pepper in 2 tbs fat reserved from the sausage. Combine cheese and flour.

Me tooooo! :) Too bad my dad is not a fan of then, though, otherwise I'd fix them more often. ;)
