Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

4 eggs, beaten

2 tablespoons half-and-half or milk

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 package frozen spinach, thawed and drained well (Note: I use a large hand towel to absorb all of the excess moisture)

1 small onion, chopped

1 cup chopped basil

1 cup chopped basil

1 cup shredded low fat cheddar cheese

3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Equipment:

oven

frying pan

muffin liners

muffin tray

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Set a large skillet over medium heat and spray with a generous amount of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and stir around for about 30 seconds. Add the chopped onion, some salt and pepper, and turn up the heat to medium-high. Stirring frequently, cook until the onion is lightly browned. Then, add the spinach, chopped basil, some more salt and pepper, and lower the heat to medium. Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Combine the eggs, cheese (reserving some of the shredded cheddar to sprinkle on later), half-and-half, salt, pepper, and beat until well blended. Spray a 24-mini muffin cup pan (or 2 12-mini muffin cup pans) with the Misto olive oil sprayer (see ingredients above). Distribute the spinach mixture evenly between the muffin cups, about 1 tablespoonful. Then, spoon about 1 tablespoonful of egg batter into each muffin cup. (Pictured below). Bake about 15 minutes. Remove the muffin pan(s) from the oven. Sprinkle the top of each muffin cup with some of the reserved shredded cheddar cheese. Bake for another few minutes, 5 minutes or so, or until the cheese has formed a golden brown crust on top. Cool the quiches. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the fridge.

Food Trivia

Death row inmates in Texas don't get to pick their last meal.

Food Joke

Jack goes to the doctor and says "Doc I'm having trouble getting my penis erect, can you help me?" After a complete examination the doctor tells Jack, "Well the problem is that the muscles around the base of your penis are damaged. There's really nothing I can do for you unless you're willing to try an experimental treatment." Jack asks sadly, "And that would be?" "Well," the Doctor explains, "What we would do is take the muscles from the trunk of a baby elephant and implant them in your penis." Jack thinks about it silently then says, "Well the thought of going through life without ever having sex again is too much, let's go for it." Jack went under the knife, and, after a period of recovery and healing, returned to the Doc for his blessing. Following the examination, the Doc pronounced Jack "healed and ready for action". Eager to use his experimentally enhanced equipment, Jack planned a romantic evening for his girlfriend and took her to one of the nicest restaurants in town, anticipating a happy conclusion to the evening. In the middle of dinner he felt a stirring between his legs that continued to the point of being painful. To release the pressure, Jack placed his napkin on his lap and unzipped his fly. His penis immediately sprung from his pants, flipped the napkin on the floor, went to the top of the table, grabbed a bread roll and then returned to his pants! His girlfriend was stunned at first but then, imagining the possibilities, said with a sly smile and a gleam in her eye, "That was incredible! Can you do it again?" Jack groaned, "Probably, but I don't think I can fit another roll in my ass."
