Crap I forgot dinner: Dinner Eggs

So it has happened to all of us--you forgot to plan so you open the fridge and even worse it is practically empty. Take Out it is! Or wait...perhaps not. In the series "Crap I forgot dinner", we will explore easy, simple recipes made from stuff you have on hand.  Remember if you make recipes in bulk and freeze them this will be even easy because dinner will just be a quick microwave away.

This recipe is an easy one in which you can adapt with whatever you have on hand. The required ingredients are the ones in italics and the rest is whatever you have on hand. This is another great recipe to hide veggies in and is a simple one dish meal.  It also doesn't have a crust which is time consuming and in my opinion dry and gross.

Dinner Eggs*
*Because the name Quiche sounds weird to my kids*

2 cups of milk
4 eggs
3/4 biscuit baking mix
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1 package frozen broccoli florets
1 cup cubed cooked ham

Preheat over to 325 degrees. Grease a quiche or casserole dish.
In a large bowel mix together milk, eggs, and baking mix (it will be lumpy). Then add in your fixings. Pour into a baking dish and bake for 50 minutes.

Great combinations include:

  • Sausage and mushroom with cheddar cheese
  • Bacon and Gruyere
  • Spinach, bacon, and swiss
  • Smoked salmon, dill, and swiss
  • Chorizo and tomatoes
  • Anything that involves meat, veggies, or cheese
Serve with a simple salad and you have a beautiful simple super easy meal.
