Welcome Brunch

We had a successful Welcome Brunch on Saturday, March 9th.  We had a pretty big turnout, but we also missed all of those who couldn't make it.  We ate some crepes with fruit and sauces and quiche.  Then we went around the room and introduced ourselves, sharing some interesting facts about our lives.  It was enjoyable getting to know one another.

Sister Oliver shared her recipe for the quiche:



Crustless Spinach Quiche

Prep time: 20 minutes             Cook time: 30-40 minutes                   Serves: 6

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ - ¾ cup onion, chopped (recipe called for 1 chopped onion, as made at brunch, but I would decrease)
10oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
5 eggs, beaten
3 cups shredded Monterey Jack (recipe calls for Muenster, but it is very expensive so I used Monterey)
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9” pie pan.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft. Stir in spinach and continue cooking until excel moisture has evaporated.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, cheese, salt and pepper. Add spinach mixture and stir to blend. Scoop into prepared pie pan.

Bake in pre-heated oven until eggs have set, about 30-40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
