Easy quiche

Quiche is simply an egg custard, seasoned with anything you desire. This is the perfect recipe for busy moms. No fuss, no base and just add whatever filling you like. It’s healthy, tasty, quick & easy to make and the best part is my two daughters love it!

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup plain yogurt (Homemade yogurt recipe)

1 cup grated cheese

4 tablespoon of self-raising flour

Salt & pepper to taste

Fillings:

1st Choice: Salmon & Fresh Parsley

Rub some salt on the salmon slice. Drizzle some olive oil on salmon and pan-fry until it’s cooked. Let it cool and break the salmon into small pieces and remove any bones. (You’ll get about 1 cup of salmon – more or less is fine). Rinse and chop fresh parsley – about 1/2 cup.

Put the salmon & parsley into a bowl, add some pepper, squeeze some lemon and mix lightly.

2nd Choice: Spinach and Ham

The stores here do not carry canned spinach so I use fresh spinach instead. I rinse and boil spinach for 1 minute, drained and chopped into small pieces. Cut ham (any type) into small pieces to make about 1 cup. Put chopped spinach and ham together and mix lightly. Add some salt & pepper.

Note: Remember to put in 1/2 tsp of baking soda in hot water when boiling spinach – this is to make sure spinach stays green otherwise it will turn yellowish.

3rd Choice: Sausages and Mushroom (canned button mushroom or fresh mushroom)

Quiche with sausage & mushroom - straight from the over. Quiche with sausage & mushroom – fresh from the oven.

Slice or cut sausages and mushroom into small pieces. What I normally do is slice a small onion and pan-fry it for 2 minutes with the sausages and mushroom to add more flavour.

Note: The above are just 3 suggestions on type of filling you can put into the quiche. Feel free to try with whatever you desire and it will taste great even with any leftover meat dishes.

Method:

1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C.

2. Whisk together in a bowl eggs, milk, yogurt and flour.

3. Fold in cheese and fillings.

4. Pour into a standard pie dish/pan (9″ in diameter & 1-1/4″ deep). I normally use a glass dish and remember to oil the base with some olive oil or butter.

5. Bake for 40 minutes or until set.

6. Serve hot.

Joke of the day – The 3 bikers

images (1)

Three rough-looking stomp into a truck shop where a grizzled old-timer is having breakfast. One of the bikers extinguishes his cigarette in the old guy’s pancakes.
The second spits a wad of chewing tobacco into his coffee. The third biker dumps the whole plate on the floor.

Without a word of protest, the old guy pays his bill and leaves.

“Not much of a man, was he?” said one of the bikers.

“Not much of a driver either,” says the waitress. “He just backed his truck over three motorcycles.”

Joke of the day – Write it down

images

An elderly couple with memory problems are advised by their doctor to write notes to help them remember things.

One evening, while watching TV, the wife asks her husband to get her a bowl of ice-cream. “Sure,” he says.

“Write it down,” she suggests.

“No,” he says, “I can remember a simple thing like that.”

“I also want strawberry and whipped cream,” she says. “Write it down.”

“I don’t need to write it down,” he insists, heading to the kitchen.

Twenty minutes later, he returns bearing a plate of bacon and scrambled eggs. “I told you to write it down!” his wife says, “I wanted fried eggs!”

Joke of the day – Gold bullion

Determined to “take it with him” when he dies, a very rich man prayed until finally the Lord gave in. There was one condition: he could bring only one suitcase of his wealth. The rich man decided to fill the case with gold bullion.

The day came when God called him home. St. Peter greeted him, but told him he couldn’t bring in his suitcase. “Oh, but I have an agreement with God,” the man explained.

“That’s unusual,” said St. Peter. “Mind if I take a look?” The man opened the suitcase to reveal the shining gold bullion.

St. Peter was amazed. “Why in the world would you bring pavement?

Read a book …

…and escape. When you are reading it is very hard to think of anything else other than what you are reading. So, it offers total escape.

Read a book today…

…in bed at night for a few minutes,

…while waiting in a queue,

…during your child’s swimming lessons,

…on a bus or train on your way to work.
