Spinach, Mushroom and Feta Crustless Quiche

-
Do you feel that time is flying every day? Can't believe it's end of July already. I asked my younger daughter the same question the other day, she told me she felt time has been very slow!  Well, I understand how she feels. She can't wait to go for an overseas cultural immersion trip organized by her school in November.


She is so excited about it as this is the first time she travels overseas not with family members, but with her schoolmates and teachers.  I am really happy for her. At her age, she is so lucky to have such a good opportunity to be exposed to a different culture. Recall my first overseas trip, which happened when I was 26 years old, led me to this island and I have been living here ever since.  Time does fly by and brings amazing changes in our lives. Now, watching my girls grow up happily and healthily day by day,  I feel so blessed.



Like many other children, my girls do not like vegetables.  One way to add greens to their meal is to combine their favorite cheeses with vegie. This crustless quiche is a good choice.  Plenty of vegetables, plenty of cheeses.  As no need to prepare the crust,  I have enough time to serve it on our breakfast table this morning.  An easy and healthy dish indeed.


SPINACH, MUSHROOM AND FETA CRUSTLESS QUICHE

  • 200g fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ tsp minced garlic

  4. Combine the spinach, cooked mushroom, feta,  salt and pepper.  Place into a ovenproof dish.


  5. In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs until fairly smooth. Add the milk, parmesan, and  sprinkle of pepper. Whisk to combine.
  6. Pour this mixture into the dish over the spinach, mushrooms, and feta. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.

  7. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until it is golden brown on top and the center is solid. Serves 4.

Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) is still 20 days away, but Singapore is already getting ready for the Year of Horse. CNY decorations are all over the shopping malls, very pretty and impressive. As a home baker, it's time for me to bake CNY cookies . As usual, pineapple tarts are the top in my baking list. This year, I decided to try a different recipe.  Actually, I saw this recipe from Sonia's blog ( Nasi Lemak Lover ) last year. She said it's the "Best Melt-in-the-Mouth" pineapple tart recipe. As I have already finished baking  pineapple tarts  with my own recipe then, so did not have the chance to try.  A few days ago, Zoe from Bake For Happy Kids  shared her experience of baking pineapple tarts with 3 popular recipes. One of them is Sonia's.  Zoe provided a comparison table with ingredients and method used in each recipe, and concluded that Sonia's recipe yields the best melt-in-the-mouth pineapple tarts.  Though I have never doubt "baki

Cake Muffins Worth Queueing for at Shunfu Market

Knowing that I bake muffins, a friend recommended me to try the muffins from Chocolat N' Spice at Shunfu market.  He said Shunfu market - a neighbourhood hawker center,  is famous because of the muffin store.  The snake queue in front of  the muffin store has become an unique scenery of this quiet hawker center. People queueing for muffins? Out of curiosity, I dropped by the store one day during lunch time. Over the one hour stay at the hawer center, I observed an average of 8-9 people in the queue. It has never shortened until all the muffins were sold out.  I bought one box of 6 muffins of different flavours,  priced from $1.30 to $1.60 each.  I chose Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate, Banana Walnut,  Blueberry, Mocha and Cheese . These freshly baked muffins are large, soft with golden domed top, so enticing. Shared with colleagues, everyone was asking me when I would make the next the trip down. Each of them would like to order one box!  The following week, I brought 6 boxes of

Air-Fried Buttermilk Chicken

My taste buds are fond of fried foods.  The pleasure of eating deep-fried food is irresistible to me. I like the tender interior and crisp exterior, which remains crisp even as the food soaks up the tangy sauce. However, for my family's health, I seldom deep fry food at home. I usually replace deep frying with baking, e.g, baked potato sticks , chicken wings and pork ribs .  Baked food tastes good, but sometimes, deep-fried food still tastes better. To satisfy our craving for deep-fried food,  we bought a Philips Airfryer recently. Now I can air fry! We have air-fried some "forbidden" snacks at home, and this buttermilk fried chicken is one of the top recipes we have tried so far.
