Cheesy Bacon Quiche

Ingredients:
1 Pie Crust ( store bought and pre-made)
8 slices of Bacon, crumbled
2 1/2 Cups of shredded Swiss Cheese (I use Emmentaler)
2 Tablespoons of Flour
4 Eggs
3/4 Cup of Cream
3/4 Cup of Half and Half (half cream half milk – mix it yourself if you can’t find any)
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Dash of Pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 177°C (350°F). Use your toaster oven to make this quicker and more environmentally friendly!

Cook bacon in the microwave until crisp. Once cool, crumble and set aside.

Place your pie dough in the pie dish so that it’s ready to have everything poured in; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the cheese and flour – mix well. In a large bowl, beat the eggs slightly, and then add cream, half and half, salt, pepper, bacon, and cheese mixture. Mix well.

Ladle into the pie crust-lined pie dish.

Bake for 30-45 minutes or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Let it stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Serves 6-8.

My breakfast

I'm always throwing blueberries on my kids plates, because I just cant justify having them eat dino chicken nuggets, and string cheese so I throw a few blueberries on the plate so they have something with a bit of vitamins and antioxidants in it. I was spreading peanut butter on my whole wheat toast this morning and looked over at the box of blueberries and thought I would give it a try. Ummmmmmm so glad I did! So perfect and yummy.

Drizzle the melted butter and honey over the top and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, stirring often so the coconut dosen't brown too much. After removing from oven, stir as it cools to prevent clumping. Can add sliced almonds, dried cranberries, raisins, sunflower or pumpkin seeds etc etc. Store in an air tight containter. Yields one gallon. Enjoy over yogurt, with milk or just plain. Enjoy!

Eggstra yummy Casserole

I had this yummy Egg casserole at a baby shower brunch and tracked down the recipe, because I loved it so much. Lilly loves eggs so I knew she would eat it and love it.

Egg Cassarole

2 TBLS butter, melted

8 slices white bread

1 1/2 cup grated swiss cheese

1 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar (I used mild)

2 TBLS chives, chopped (I used fresh)

4 large eggs

2 cups milk

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp salt

pepper to taste

grease 8 x 8 pan

Place four slices of bread in pan. Top with half the cheese. Sprinkle all of the chives on top. Place four more slices of bread, and then rest of the cheese.

Wisk together butter, eggs, milk and seasonings. Pour over the top and refrigerate over night.

Bake 325 for 40 mins, until bubbles up, looks puffy.

I used a 9 x 13 and it need a little more bread, but not a lot. So I did a one and a half recipe of the milk/butter/egg mixture to be sure there was enough and it seemed to work out great.

Mc Breakfast Sandwich

The other night I needed to just make Lils dinner and I had all this left over Ham from Easter sitting in my refrigerator so I busted out with this yummy Mickey D's breakfast sandwich. Jage and I kept sneaking bites from her.
Ingredients:
Sourdough English Muffins
Eggs
Ham ( already cooked and cut up)
Ketchup or Salsa
Chedder Cheese

I toasted the English muffin with cheese on top in the oven on broil. I then added ketchup onto the muffin. I scrambled up the eggs and placed them inside the muffin. Layer with some cooked ham. It was so yummy. I felt like I was eating some breakfast sandwich from McDonalds.
