Biscuit bake

Ok so yes I am Mormon and being LDS there is a certain relationship with the word casserole and it gives me the shivers.....lol!!! So that's why I didn't want to call this a casserole because it's so much better than any casseroles I ever ate growing up. My husband has this internal struggle with anything called by the term casserole so I decided that this recipe which is totally inspired by my mom should not be put in that genre. So here it is my Biscuit Bake. This recipe served my family of 5 but we had leftovers. 

INGREDEINTS:

1 can of flaky biscuits 

6 large eggs

1/2 cup half and half

Breakfast sausage, browned and crumbled

White mushrooms, diced 

Gruyere cheese, fresh grated 

Salt and pepper, to taste 

Parsley 

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350. Place biscuits at the bottom of a 9x13 pan. 

Place the sausage crumbles evenly on top of the biscuits.

Mix eggs, half and half, mushrooms, salt and pepper together. Pour on top of the biscuits and sausage. 

Sprinkle cheese. Then parsley. 

Bake for 15 mins or until eggs are cooked and biscuits are golden brown. 

Serve immediately. 

Bleu Mushroom Spinach Quiche

One of my good friends is not too big on meats and she doesn't like wait for it......BACON!!!!! I know it's shocking but it's true. Some of her favorite things are blue cheese, spinach and mushrooms. We were having a ladies brunch yesterday and I decided to make something that I knew she would love(because I'm such a good friend) and to use some of the fresh blue cheese she brought me(because she's a good friend). So here is a fantastic recipe that will appeal to any vegetarian, or maybe just someone who wants to get more veggies in their diet. ENJOY!!!

INGREDIENTS:

mushrooms(sliced)

½ tsp minced garlic

1 (10 oz.) box frozen spinach

4 large eggs 

1 cup fat free/ low % milk

6 oz. fresh blue cheese(crumbled)

¼ cup grated parmesan 

½ cup shredded pizza mix cheese

salt & pepper 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. If your frozen spinach is not already thawed, thaw it in the microwave. Empty into a colander and let it drain while prepare rest.
2. Spray skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat on medium. Rinse the mushrooms. Place the sliced mushrooms in a skillet, add the minced garlic, and sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Saute the mushrooms until they release all of their moisture and no more water remains on the bottom of the skillet (a few minutes).
   
3. Spray a pie dish with non-stick spray. Squeeze the ALL of the water out of the spinach(very important) and spread it out on the bottom of the pie dish. Next add the cooked mushrooms and crumbled blue cheese.
   
4. In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs until smooth. Add the milk, parmesan, and pepper. Whisk to combine. Pour this mixture over the spinach, mushrooms, and blue cheese.
5. Sprinkle the shredded pizza mix cheese over top. Place in the oven and bake until it is golden brown on top and the center is solid. Bake for 45 min-1hour. Slice and serve!
