A friend has a farm with chickens in Grant County, Kentucky, and surprised us one day with a couple dozen farm fresh eggs. But with only a couple egg eaters in the house, what to do with so many? A quiche, of course! And since the oven was going to be on, why not whip up a batch of 7-Up biscuits to serve on the side?
Quiches are great in that you can add just about any ingredients you like — ham, tomatoes, spinach, peppers … we like things spicy in our house, so we opted for mushrooms, jalapeno peppers and cheddar cheese.
Quiche
- 8 – 12 eggs
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 1/4 cup jalapeno peppers
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ready-made pie crust
Grease a 9-inch pie pan, and lay out your ready-made pie crust. Cook the mushrooms and peppers in a skillet and then drain on a paper towel. Mix eggs, milk, mushrooms, peppers and cheese in a large bowl and pour into pie crust. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
7-Up Biscuits
- 4 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup 7-Up, room temperature
- 1/2 cup butter
Melt the butter in a 9×13 baking dish. Mix baking mix, sour cream and 7-Up to form a very soft dough. Dump over melted butter and bake at 425 for 10 – 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Let rest for a few minutes so remainder of butter can absorb into biscuits, then cut and serve with honey!
