Donna's Cheesy Quiche

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (9 inch) pie crust
• 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onions and saute until soft (about 3-5 minutes).  In a large bowl, beat together eggs, cream, basil, oregano, salt and pepper.  Spoon the onions into the pie crust.  Pour the egg mixture over the onions and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the quiche comes out clean.  Let cool slightly before serving.

Our Review

I made one following this recipe and then made one with sliced ham added into the pie crust with the onions.  I found that the crust wasn’t 100% cooked on the ham one and we actually voted that the non-ham one was slightly better.

Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze

• Ingredients

• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

• 4 (6 ounce) boneless salmon fillets
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• Preheat the oven’s broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source; prepare the rack of a broiler pan with cooking spray.  Season the salmon with salt and pepper and arrange onto the prepared broiler pan. Whisk together the brown sugar and Dijon mustard in a small bowl; spoon mixture evenly onto top of salmon fillets.  Cook under the preheated broiler until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.

Apple Blue Cheese Salad

Ingredients

• 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and julienned
• 1 cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
• 1 cup crumbled blue cheese

• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 4 slices turkey bacon
• 6 cups torn romaine lettuce
• Place the julienned apple into a bowl with the balsamic vinaigrette. Refrigerate for at least one hour to marinate.  Cook bacon in the microwave or in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Drain, and crumble.  In a salad bowl, combine the blue cheese, pecans, bacon and romaine lettuce, and toss to blend. When ready to serve, pour the apples and dressing over the top

Our Review

It was a lot of dressing, use less next time.  Otherwise it was good.
