Broccoli & Onion Quiche

I made this quiche two nights ago, when I had some friends over, and I served it as a side to some grilled BBQ chicken my husband made.  To be honest though, this recipe could easily be enough for an entree rather than a side dish.  It has more flavor than I was expecting, and is one of the easiest things I've ever made!

I adapted this recipe from Chocolate, Chocolate and More.  After making this quiche, the only thing I am going to do differently for next time is add some spicy sausage!  I think it tastes perfect just the way it is if you want to meatless, but my hubby and I would definitely LOVE it if it had some spicy sausage!

Broccoli & Onion Quiche

Total Time: 1 hr
Prep: 20 min
Cook: 40 min
Yield: 6-8 slices

Ingredients
1 pie crust (store bought or homemade)
6 eggs
1 cup whipping cream
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
1 ¾ cups shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°.
2. Roll out the pie crust then lightly press into the form of a tart or pie pan.
3. Sauté the onion in butter for about 5 minutes, just until softened. If the broccoli is fresh, steam until just tender, if frozen, cook just until warmed and defrosted. Toss the broccoli with the onions and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
4. Evenly spread the broccoli and onions in the prepared crust then sprinkle cheese over top.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, cream, garlic salt, dried basil, salt and pepper. With hand mixer, whip the mixture for about 1 minute.
6. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli, onions and cheese.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until center is set. Make sure an inserted toothpick comes out clean with no raw egg. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

Skinny Strawberry & Blueberry Muffins

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day.  I would eat breakfast for lunch and dinner (which I've done many times)!  So when I came across this recipe from Kitchen Meets Girl, it really caught my eye.  The best thing about this recipe is that it's skinny, but still has tons of flavor!  I hope you enjoy these delicious muffins!

Skinny Strawberry & Blueberry Muffins

Total Time: 40 min
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 25 min
Yield: 6 large muffins/12 small muffins

Ingredients
2 ½ cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt (I used Chobani)
2 large eggs
½ cup baking stevia (you can also use sugar; start with 1/2 cup and add a litte extra, depending on your taste)
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 cup strawberries, diced, and divided
½ cup blueberries

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Line 12 muffin tins with foil liners, or spray really well with cooking spray so the oats don’t stick.
2. Place all of your ingredients (except the strawberries & blueberries) in a blender or food processor, and blend until the oats are smooth. You might need to stop and use a spoon to mix up the ingredients by hand and then blend again.
3. Pour the batter into a medium sized bowl, and fold in 1 cup of strawberries and the blueberries.
4. Divide the batter equally into each the muffin pan. Add the remaining ½ cup diced strawberries over the top of each muffin. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes & enjoy!

Rudy's Creamed Corn

So this may not be the healthiest side dish, but it's definitely a must-have!  This recipe is courtesy of Rudy's BBQ in San Antonia, Texas.  Ask my Aunt Cheryl who visits Rudy's all the time.  She is a lover of this recipe, and once you try it, you will be too!

Rudy’s Creamed Corn
 
Total Time: 4 hrs 10 min
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 4 hrs
Yield: 6-8  
 
Ingredients
4 lbs. frozen sweet corn
2 8 oz blocks cream cheese, diced into 1 inch squares
1 stick (4 oz) of salted butter
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
4 tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt

Directions
1. Place all of the ingredients into a crock pot and stir to mix.
2. Cook on medium or low for at least 4 hours. The slow cooking process allows the corn to soak up all of the sweet creamy goodness.
3. Serve directly out of the crock pot or in a serving bowl and enjoy!
