Our new Spring meal plan has quiche in the breakfast rotation. This is a wonderful dish that could be eaten at any time of day or for any occasion… maybe even an Easter or Mother’s Day brunch?

Mr. Awesome’s Mom, Granny, makes an amazing quiche and she wrote the recipe down for me but I was a little confused about the directions so I improvised and it turned out pretty good… he says it is very close to Granny’s. The original recipe calls for Bisquick which I don’t keep in my pantry but I do have plenty of sourdough so I used that instead and just adjusted ingredients until it ‘felt right’.

This has quickly become a favorite in our home! I believe her recipe says to sprinkle a little cheese in the bottom of the casserole before pouring everything in but we haven’t tried that. This is also great as leftovers and you may find that you need to make two of them to keep everyone happy! We do leave the mushrooms whole so that the pickier kids can pick them out pretty easily but you could chop them up. You can also add any other veggie or meat that you like.

Easy Sourdough Quiche

Ingredients:

• 12 eggs
• 1 c. sourdough discard – see notes at bottom for alternatives.
• ½ c. milk
• 1 c. cheese – we like to use a cheddar blend.
• ¼ c. parmesan, optional
• Salt and pepper to taste – we like to use garlic salt.
• Cajun seasoning, optional

optional add-ins:

• 1 lb. sausage, bacon, or chopped ham– any type of meat would work.
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 c. mushrooms – we leave them whole as some kids don’t like them
• 1 c. spinach, chopped
• Other veggies as desired – this is a good way to use up leftovers!

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9×13 pan, set to the side.

Cook the meat of your choice and set to the side to cool.

Sauté the veggies until tender and set to the side to cool.

Whisk the other ingredients together in a large bowl and add in meats and veggies.

Pour this into the greased pan and sprinkle with additional cheese, if desired.

Bake for 40-45 minutes.

Notes:

Sourdough alternatives: (increase milk by ¼ cup as well.)

• 1 c. Bisquick
• 1 c. self-rising flour
• 1 c. all-purpose flour plus 1 ½ t. of baking powder and ¼ t. salt
