I tried a new recipe this week. I wanted to post a picture of the finished product but I forgot to take one. Tuesday I made dinner for my sister and her family. Zach and I went to visit for a couple of days, and I thought I would take dinner. So I made a quiche that made the house smell like home cooked heaven. Potato, Cheese and Leek Quiche. I altered the recipe just a tad for cost purposes and my own laziness. Here's the recipe, more or less:
Crust-you can make your own with butter and flower, but I just used crescent rolls and flattened them out.
3 potatoes (I used 2 white and 1 sweet) thinly sliced
2tbsp butter
2 tbsp oil
2 cloves garlic-minced
3 leeks chopped
1 lb of spinach-use fresh spinach-I used canned and it wasn't as great as it could have been
1 cup of cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cream
1/2 milk
4 eggs
Sautee the potatoes in the butter and oil and garlic. Make sure all the potatoes are covered in oil and let steam for 5 minutes covered. Remove and let pat dry on paper towels. Sautee the leeks in remaining oil. Once softened, set aside. Steam spinach for about 2 minutes, until wilted. Let pat dry. Begin layering in quiche-cheese, potatoes, spinach, leeks, and repeat. In a separate bowl or jug, mix milk, cream, and eggs. Pour over quiche. Bake at 350 for about an hour and a half. Receive super yumminess in mouth :)
Dessert was peanut butter buckeyes and chocolate haystacks.
For the peanut butter: Mix 1 cup creamy PB, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 2 tbsp melted butter. Dip in melted chocolate.
Haystacks: Crush up potato chips-preferably ruffled- and dump in melted chocolate. Spoon onto wax paper. Sprinkle with sea salt.
Freeze both for a bit to harden. Awesome easy desserts!
Ok and lastly: I am currently drinking a cheap bottle of Crane Lake Malbec. It's ok. If you want a glass of wine just to relax it's not a bad choice. I am a Pinot Noir lady myself so this has not been my favorite, but it's what the wallet can handle for now.
Enjoy!
