Crustless Spinach, Mushroom and Cheddar Quiche
I made this tonight for my caregiving client, who loves quiche but doesn't touch the crust. It turned out pretty good and it's really low in calories because of the lack of a crust. It'd also be very good for someone doing a low-carb diet! I made six individual servings in disposable "pot pie tins" I found at the grocery store, rather than one large quiche, so the leftovers can be frozen.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1/3 cup minced raw onion
1 small can mushrooms (or 1/2 cup fresh mushrooms)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
4 eggs
2 cups half and half
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
Non-stick baking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease 9" pie pan or six individual pot pie pans with cooking spray. In a food processor or blender, pulse spinach, onion, and mushrooms. Spread vegetable mixture on bottom of pie pan. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then mix in half and half and spices until well blended. Pour over vegetable/cheese mixture. Bake for 15 minutes at 425, then reduce heat to 300 and bake for about 20-30 minutes until browned on top. If desired, sprinkle more cheddar cheese on top and put back in oven until cheese is browned.

You can say what you want about the South, but you never hear of anyone retiring and moving North.

No other religion offers God's love and redemption coming to us free of charge, as a gift, with no strings attached, no performance required, no standard to meet.
Only Christianity dares to make God's love unconditional.
