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 Joke

This is a story about a couple who had been happily married for years. The only friction in their marriage was the husband's habit of farting loudly every morning when he awoke. The noise would wake his wife and the smell would make her eyes water and she would gasp for air. Every morning she would plead with him to stop letting them rip because it was making her sick. He told her he couldn't stop and that it was perfectly natural. She told him he should see a doctor, she was concerned that one day he would blow his guts out. The years went by and he continued to let them rip! Then one Thanksgiving morning as she was preparing the turkey dinner, and he was upstairs sound asleep, she looked at the bowl where she had put the turkey innards and neck, gizzard, liver and all the spare parts and a malicious thought came to her. She took the bowl and went upstairs where her husband was sound asleep and, gently pulling back the covers, she pulled back the elastic waistband of his underpants and emptied the bowl of turkey guts into his shorts. Sometime later she heard her husband waken with his usual trumpeting which was followed by a blood curdling scream and the sound of frantic footsteps as he ran into the bathroom. The wife could hardly control herself as she rolled onto the floor laughing with tears in her eyes! After years of torture, she reckoned she got him back pretty good. About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs in his bloodstained underpants with a look of horror on his face. She bit her lip as she asked him what was the matter? He said, "Honey, you were right. All these years you have warned me and I didn't listen to you." "What do you mean?" asked his wife. "Well, you always told me that one day I would end up farting my guts out, and today it finally happened. But by the grace of God, some Vaseline, and these two fingers, I think I got most of them back in!"
