I mentioned in my menu plan yesterday that I was relying on my old friend Bisquick® to help with dinner. If you haven’t thought of using Bisquick, you should! It’s more than just a baking mix for pancakes and biscuits.
My boys love the quiches I make for them. Seriously, love them. Hubby even freezes left-overs for his home-made microwave lunches. And I tell you, I don’t mind making them.
First, they are one dish that has most of the food groups in it. Meat, dairy, veggie.
Second, they are easy-peasy! Nine times out of ten, I have all the ingredients on hand and can throw it together in a matter of minutes.
Tip: When you have left over meats such as chicken or ham, dice them up and divide them into one-cup bags, then freeze. You’ll always have your ingredients ready for recipes such as these.
While I linked to a recipe in yesterday’s post, I wanted to share my version and alternatives that I make.
Bisquick® Ham, Spinach & Swiss Quiche
1 cup diced ham
2 cups frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 7oz can sliced mushrooms, drained
1 tbsp dried chopped onions (or 1/4 cup fresh diced onions)
1 1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup Bisquick®
3 eggs
salt & pepper to taste or celery salt
Preheat oven to 400°.
Spray 9″ pie plate with cooking spray.
Layer first 5 ingredients in pie plate. Add seasonings.
Mix together milk, Bisquick® and eggs and pour over other ingredients.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until center of quiche is firm.
The milk, Bisquick® and eggs are the base ingredients for any quiche I make. I just change-up the meat, veggie and cheese to make a different quiche. Sometimes I add mushrooms and onions, sometimes it’s something else. Here are a few of my variations:
- Chicken, Broccoli, Cheddar and Diced Tomatoes
- Shrimp, Spinach, Mozzarella and Diced Tomatoes
- Ground Beef (browned), Bacon Bits, Cheddar and Mushrooms
- Spinach, Feta and Tomatoes*
- Grated Zucchini and Cheddar Jack*
- Ground or Sliced Sausage, Peppers, Tomatoes and Parmesan
*Note: If not using a meat, increase your main veggie to 2 cups.
Try a Bisquick® quiche for a meal and let me know how it turns out. And if you have any ingredient suggestions, please leave me a comment!
PS: Bisquick® did not provide me anything for this post – no coupon, sample or money. I just love it and wanted to share my recipes with you
