The other morning I got up only to realize that a trip to the grocery would need to be in my immediate future. Hubby loves a big breakfast, he loves eggs and breakfast meat. We were running low on the eggs, out of the meat and down to the last of the last. So, what do we ladies do? We whip something up and hope it turns out good! This time it did (I have had plenty of failures doing things this way too). It was actually so good I wanted to share. You could certainly add meat to this recipe and I am sure it would be divine too, I will probably try that this weekend, but here is what I came up with on the fly, we've repeated it twice so far and it has gotten rave reviews!
Quiche (Man Pie as hubby calls it)
RECIPE:
6 eggs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar
1 can potatoes grated
1 sliced onion
dash of salt and pepper
oil to grease pans
I first turned a skillet on to medium high and tossed my onion rings in to carmelize, once this step as almost complete, I then added the shredded canned potatoes (don't try to shred a regular potato for this unless you want to spend a lot longer cooking, the canned potatoes are already boiled so they cook very quickly).
Once potatoes and onions are done I whisked the 6 eggs, salt, pepper, and cheeses together in a bowl adding the potato mixture last. Pour into a greased pie plate and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes.
This also reheats VERY well! Enjoy!
**NOTE** I just made this same recipe again this morning but this time I browned 1/2 pound of sausage and did not cook the potatoes, just shredded them, I also omitted the onion...it was FABULOUS!
