Zucchini and Green Chile Quiche Recipe

Zucchini & Green Chile Quiche Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1-2 pie crusts (1 for a standard size quiche, 2 if making mini quiches)
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 Tbls vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup diced shallots
• 1/4 c all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 2 1/2 – 3 cups of two or more kinds of cheese
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Press the crust into the bottom and up the side of the pan. Use a fork to poke holds into the bottom of the crust.
• Bake the crust in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown. If making mini quiches – the crust will only take 2-3 minutes, for a full-size quiche, about 7 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees.
• While the crusts are baking, grate the zucchini onto a clean kitchen towel and squeeze dry. Add the oil to a skillet and heat over medium heat until hot. Add in the shallots and cook until nice and soft. Add in the zucchini and turn up the heat to high. Cook the zucchini and shallots for an additional 3-5 minutes.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until nice and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Grate the cheese – I used a sharp cheddar and Dubliner cheese mix for this quiche. I’ve had it with Monterey Jack, pepper jack, white cheddar – ALL are good so use your favorite combination. Add in the grated cheese, cottage, zucchini mixture, green chiles, and flour mixture and beat until combined.
• Pour the mixture into the crust(s). Bake the quiche until the top is puffed and golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. For the mini quiches, around 25 minutes, for a full-sized quiche, 35 -40 minutes. Let stand for several minutes before removing from pan and serving. Enjoy!

Easy, Cheesy, Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches & Family Game Night

Easy, Cheesy, Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches & Family Game Night

Ingredients:

• Tyson Chicken Nuggets
• Mozzarella Cheese
• Marinara or Pasta Sauce
• Parmesan Cheese
• French Rolls
• Ore Ida French Fries
• Heinz Ketchup

Directions:

• Cook the Golden Crinkles an Chicken Nuggets according to the package instructions.
• While those are cooking, take out the rolls and sprinkle some of the Parmesan cheese on the rolls. Any Parmesan cheese will work – I happened to have some Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese on hand. Throw those into the same oven and let the rolls toast for 3-5 minutes.
• Once the Chicken Nuggets are cooked, place them on top of the rolls and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.
• Spoon on 3-4 tablespoons of sauce.
• And then cover with mozzarella cheese. You can use shredded, fresh, or slices. Whatever you have will work :)
• Throw the sandwiches back into the oven and bake until the cheese is nice and melted {3-5 minutes} and get ready to enjoy!
• For the kids’ plates I stacked the Golden Crinkles like Lincoln Logs because on Family Game Night – food is FUN too! I squeezed the Heinz Ketchup into the center for dipping – the boys LOVED this.
