Yum!


I made my latest favorite for dinner last night. Everyone loves it. Well, maybe not the little ones - a lot of onion!

Tomato & Onion Quiche

1 tbs olive oil
1 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tomatoes, peeled and sliced
1 link Italian sausage, casings removed (or any other meat you have around)
2 tbs all-purpose flour
1/2 c fresh basil leaves, chopped
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 c milk
salt and pepper to taste
1 9" unbaked deep dish pie crust
1 1/2 c shredded Colby-Monterey Jack or Mexican style cheese, divided

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake pie shell in preheated oven for 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown sausage and remove from skillet.
Saute onion until soft; remove from skillet.
Sprinkle tomato slices with flour, then saute 1 minute on each side.
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread 1 cup shredded cheese in the bottom of the pie crust. Layer onions, sausage, and basil over cheese and top with tomatoes. Cover with egg mixture. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until filling is puffed and golden brown.
Serve warm.

Enjoy!


This is my latest "in front of the TV" project. I got the book from the library, looking for a hat pattern, and found this little scarf, knitted with wool I already had in my "stash". It's light and airy and soft.
