no crust quiche

from Discount Queens by Crystal Ashton

Makes Its Own Crust Quiche

4 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup Bisquick
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups cheese (I like Ham and Green Onions)
your choice of meat and veggies

In a blender, blend the eggs, milk, Bisquick, onion powder, salt & pepper for 1 minute. Place cheese, vegetables and meat in the bottom of a greased pie pan. Pour egg minture over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.

My cost breakdown:
eggs $.33
milk $.25
Bisqick $.10
cheese $.50 (from a Kraft promotion a while back where I got 2 pounds for $1.80)
seasonings $.05 (from my food storage)
Meat free (leftover from Easter and saved in the freezer)
Veggies free (I used green onions from my garden)

Total $1.23 plus some fresh fruit to round off the meal.


Another tip for your Bisquick: mix up a big batch of pancake batter and make a few dozen pancakes. Lay them in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Stick them in the freezer for an hour or two and then re-package in a big ziplock bag. Now, your kids can have pancakes for breakfast. Just pull a few out and heat them in the microwave for a few seconds. Your kids are happy AND you saved lots of money by NOT buying frozen pancakes or waffles.u

Pizza

Pizza Dough
1 c. and 2 T. Hot tap water
2 T. Olive oil or vegetable oil
3 c. flour (enough so dough is not sticky, but can be rolled out and handled easily)
1 t. sugar
3 t. salt
2 ½ t. yeast

Make sure you add the Hot tap water, yeast and sugar together. Allow to grow 5 minutes. Then slowly add the flour one cup at a time until each cup as been incorporated, and add the salt after the first cup of flour. Touch dough to make sure it is soft and bouncy to the touch. Mix and let rise until it doubles in size.
For more Italian flavor add basil and garlic powder to the dough. Roll out like regular pizza dough. Shape into any shape desired. Best to bake on cooking stones.
