Crustless Bacon and Cheese Quiche

I halfed this recipe because Randy doesn't eat eggs and I didn't want to have a lot of leftovers. I will give you the full recipe.



Prep: 15 minutes Total: 45 minutes

Ingredients:
1 cup sliced green onions (I omitted these.)
1 cup chopped tomatoes
12 slices bacon
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
12 eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used colby jack.)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese




Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Cook bacon however you like to. I used precooked bacon, so I heated mine in the microwave.



Cook mushrooms in skillet about 2 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat.



Chop bacon and add to mushrooms.



Add onions and tomatoes; mix well.



Beat eggs.



Add sour cream and beat with wire whisk until well blended.



Pour egg mixture into greased 13x9-inch baking dish.



Top with bacon mixture.



Top with cheeses.



Bake 30 minutes or until center is set. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting into pieces to serve.



Makes 12 servings, 1 piece each.

Verdict:

Laura - Thumbs Up - This was great. You can use this recipe as a road map and change up the veggies, meat and cheeses with whatever you like. Next time, I think I'll use spinach, tomatoes and feta cheese.

Randy - Randy did not take a bite of this. He doesn't eat eggs.

Nathan - Thumbs Up - Nathan liked this. He normally doesn't eat eggs, so I was surprised he liked it.

Leftovers: This was great the second time. I ate some for breakfast this morning.

Ranch Coleslaw

This recipe is so easy. I'm almost embarrassed to post it.



Total: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
1 pkg (16 oz) coleslaw blend
1/2 cup ranch dressing
5 slices bacon, crisply cooked, drained and crumbled



Directions:

Open bag of coleslaw and pour in bowl.



Mix in dressing. I found it easiest to toss with tongs.



Cook your bacon. I used pre-cooked bacon, so I just crisped it up in the microwave. Crumble bacon.



Mix in bacon.



I paired the Ranch Coleslaw with the Simple Southern-Style "Unfried" Chicken.

Makes 6 servings, 3/4 cup each.

Verdict:

Laura - Thumbs Up - Delicious! I love the smokey flavor of the bacon. I will make this again.

Randy - Thumbs Down - I didn't like the bacon. It wasn't creamy enough.

Nathan - Thumbs Up - Nathan ate this up. Yum, Yum!!

Leftovers: I just ate some this evening. It didn't taste as good as it did the first night. It was still crunchy, but it just tasted different. Next time I make this, I will make a smaller batch to try to not have leftovers.
