Spinach Quiche

Before.....

After!

The before and after pictures are definitely hilarious. It was an over-flowing MESS before it cooked. I had to put a cookie sheet under it so it wouldn't get all over my poor oven!

Spinach Quiche
SPRINKLE some cheese on the bottom of the crust
BAKE at 400F for 5 mins
SHRED 1 1/4 c. cheddar cheese
FRY and CRUMBLE bacon
Finely CHOP 1/4 c. onion
COOK and DRAIN one 10-oz package of chopped spinach
BEAT together 4 eggs, 1 c. milk, 1 c. cheese, onion, bacon, 1/2 tsp. dry mustard, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. paprika
ADD spinach
POUR into pie shell (watch out for overflow!)
SPRINKLE with remaining cheese
BAKE at 400F for 40 mins

This turned out wonderfully. I was worried about it being runny or something because it overflowed at the beginning, but it turned out great! We used 6ish strips of bacon and a little extra cheese. That may have been why it was over flow-y. The original recipe called for 4. Then again, the original recipe also called for 2 cups of milk. That would have REALLY soaked everything. O.o The pie crust pre-cooking was a good idea, I think. I threw it in the oven just after it was done preheating when I was draining/adding the spinach. That timing worked rather well. I bought uncooked crust at the store, but I'm sure crust made from scratch would work just fine.....

Cheesy Bread and Egg Sandwiches

So, my Kitchen Boy decided to make some cheap deliciousness for me tonight! The first course was oven-melted cheesy bread.

Cheesey Bread
OPEN hamburger buns
SPRINKLE cheese on as desired
PLACE in a hot oven
CHECK for melted cheese
REMOVE and NOM

And the second course was egg sandwiches. I was a little skeptic about this one, but it was actually really good! I'm glad I can eat eggs nowadays.

Egg Sandwich
CRACK eggs into a bowl
WHISK them together a bit with a fork
FRY them in a pan
meanwhile.....
Lightly TOAST garbage white bread
SPREAD mayonnaise on the insides
then....
PLACE the egg between the breads
NOM

Trust me, white garbage bread makes this taste DELECTABLE. I'm sure you could use other bread, though.
Alternatively, in my family we always used ketchup instead of mayo and actually scrambled the egg. This leaving it flat thing makes this version a lot easier to eat, however!
Great for any meal.

Brownie Cake

I made delicious brownie cake for my mother's birthday! I was worried it might be too chocolatey/sweet but it was noms all the way. ^^

Brownie Cake
MAKE two pans of brownies
Let them COOL
STACK them
DRIZZLE with a jar of caramel

I used round cake pans but you could make a square cake. I also went the easy way and used box brownies! My mother and I thought that it would taste even better if a layer of ice cream were added. That would also keep it cool enough so that the caramel might stay put better.
