Vegetarian Quiche

Vegetarian Quiche

1 frozen "deep dish" pie crust, thawed

1 cup shredded cheese of choice

1/2 cup shredded carrot (we used chopped sweet potato...turned out really good!)

1/3 cup sliced green onions (about 3)

1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

4 slightly beaten eggs

1 1/2 cups half-and-half (light cream or milk can be used)

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

1/8 tsp. garlic powder

Bake thawed pie crust at 450F for 8 minutes with a double thickness of foil covering it. Remove foil. Bake for 4-5 minutes more or till pastry is set and dry. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 325F.

Toss together cheese, carrot, green onions and flour. Sprinkle mixture over the bottom of pie crust.

In a bowl, combine eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Pour egg mixture into the hot pie crust. Bake at 325F for 35-40 minutes or until center of quiche is set and no longer runny. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6-8 servings.


Chocolate Croissants

Chocolate Croissants

1 tsp. corn starch

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 cup milk

4 eggs

1/2 cup half & half

1Tbsp.vanilla

1/3 cup sugar

Combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Fill croissants with chocolate chips of choice. I prefer semi sweet. Dip the "filled" croissants in egg mixture. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 400F for 9-12 minutes depending on desired consistency. Makes 10-12.



German Pancakes


German Pancakes
6-8 eggs
½ c. sugar
½ c. flour
½ c. butter, melted
½ c.- 1c. milk
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Preheat over 400F. Mix ingredients in order. Pour into greased 9x13 pan & bake for 20-24 minutes. The pancake will puff up when baking, then fall when removed from the oven. We served ours with strawberries, bananas and whip cream to cut down on sugar intake. They were really good! You can also serve it with berry/maple syrup or powdered sugar
