veggie experiment: days 3 and 4

modified quiche

i've been making this for a while and don't really have a recipe for it, so i'll try my best...

i love quiche but have a hard time feeding such a lard-laden crust to our family if it's not pie. i wondered for a long time what i could do to substitute the crust with something a little more healthy. so, i came up with mashed potatos that i spread out in a pan and then bake at a high temperature to get them crispy. while i like this, it's still not perfect. so, if you try it and have other ideas for the "crust," let me know.

3-4 medium potatoes, mashed how you like them, spread in a 9 x 13 and baked @ 425 for 15ish minutes, or until brown
6-7 eggs
1/2 ish C milk
veggies chopped into small pieces--my favorites are onions, broccoli, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes
handful of shredded cheddar cheese
oregano (or whatever other spice you prefer with eggs)
salt and pepper

whisk eggs and stir in milk. saute veggies and throw them and everything else into the eggs. pour over the potatoes and bake @ 400 for 15-20min. the girls like this with a little bit of ketchup and kris likes it with salsa. i like it as-is. i served this with a garden salad.
