E is for Eggs

One of my favorite ways to repurpose leftovers is to make quiche.  In this case, I had some leftover chicken, half a package of baby spinach, and half a package of mozzarella cheese.  The results?  A delicious dinner with leftovers for lunch the following day.

E is for Eggs.......

My blogging friends and I get together every other Wednesday to share recipes that start or feature ingredients as we work our way through the alphabet. Let's take a look at the other D recipes being shared today........


Quiche

This quick and easy quiche uses ingredients you normally have in your pantry or refrigerator, mixing them with leftovers and the odds and ends you want to use before your next shopping trip.

You need one can of cream soup, any flavor you wish. Meat of choice, vegetable of choice, cheese of choice, 4 eggs, light cream or milk, and a pie crust. You can have any flavor quiche you want, knowing that it will turn out perfectly.  You can even make it crustless if you want.

You can omit the meat and add more vegetables if you are a non-meat eater or are abstaining from meat during Lent.  It is an easy, foolproof recipe that I first started making as a young bride back in 1974, when I found it in one of those little paperback cookbooks they sold by the cash register.  That was before the days of self-checkout, and they would put those out for you to peruse as you stood in line, LOL...I had a whole collection of them.

Last year, for the Letter E, I shared Escargot à la Bourguignonne, and in 2024, I shared Tomatoes and Eggs.

  1. I'd have never thought to use a "cream of" soup in quiche, Wendy, but I can see why it works! So clever. I can't wait to try this!

  3. So easy! I am the only quiche person, but I bet this would freeze with that soup in there.

    1. Yes, or you could always make mini quiches, freeze them, and then pop them out of the freezer for a quick warm-up.
