Eggs are on sale on a regular basis. They are always a great way to stretch your food dollars. This crustless quiche is light and flavorful. It goes together quickly and reheats beautifully in the microwave. It also freezes well, so feel free to double the batch and have an extra quiche on hand. Delicious served with lightly warmed flour tortillas!

4  tablespoons butter, melted
6  large eggs
1/4  cup flour
1/2  teaspoon baking powder
1  teaspoon chili powder
1  small can diced green chilies (4 oz.)
1  cup of cottage cheese
8 – oz. shredded nacho and taco cheese

Preheat oven to 400 F. Combine melted butter and eggs. Whisk until blended. Add remaining ingredients and whisk thoroughly. Pour into a lightly oiled or sprayed pie dish or 9 inch round pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden and knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Makes 6 Servings. Enjoy!

Tips: For a little extra flavor, serve with sour cream and your favorite salsa. Also, if you like super spicy, then substitute jalapenos for the green chilies.

It seems that this simple peasant dish has been getting a lot of attention lately. Eggs are on sale regularly and are the main economical ingredient in this dish. A frittata is an Italian omelet that has its ingredients mixed right in with the eggs. It is cooked over low heat and may be finished in a hot oven or under a broiler. It is traditionally round and served in wedges rather than folded like a traditional French Omelet. Frittatas are quick and easy to make. They are light and a great use of leftovers or your favorite meat, seafood and vegetables. Once the eggs are about 1/2 way cooked, the frittata goes into a hot (500 F.) oven or under a broiler and finishes in just a few minutes. You may not have an ovenproof skillet or saute pan in which case, you can gently pour the ingredients into a lightly oiled pie plate to finish in the oven. While this is an additional use for leftover ham, chicken, bacon, or seafood would be great options here as well.

8  eggs
1/2  cup milk
1/4  teaspoon each salt, pepper and garlic powder
1  teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
2  cups of your favorite shredded cheese, divided

2  tablespoons butter or olive oil
1/2  cup chopped onion
1/2  cup chopped green pepper
1  cup cubed ham

Preheat broiler or oven to 500 F.  Combine eggs through 1 cup of cheese in mixing bowl and blend well.  Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat, sauté the onion, green pepper and ham. Reduce heat to medium, add egg mixture and gently stir until slightly more than 1/2 way done.  If using an ovenproof skillet at this point, top with cheese and place in oven to finish, 3-5 minutes depending on your oven or broiler.  The frittata will puff up on the edges and be set in the middle.  If using a baking dish, lightly oil and gently pour mixture into dish, topping with cheese.  Place in oven or under broiler for 5-8 minutes or until puffy on the edges and center is set.  Makes 4-6 Servings.  Enjoy!
