More Cornbread Quiche

A paradox: I love to cook but I do not like to spend a lot of time actually cooking.  So I guess I should really say that I like eating.  Hah.  This dish is one of my favorites because it tastes AMAZING and looks BEAUTIFUL but involves very little kitchen time.

Ah, yes – the beloved Cornbread Quiche.  The other things that’s cool about this dish is the endless variations.  You can make it with cheese or without.  You can use any veggie in your fridge.  It can be spicy or savory.  But it’s always good.

We have a ton of guests coming to visit us over the next week, and I plan to whip up a variation of Cornbread Quiche for each. 

Egg on the top, cornbread on the bottom!

Todays variation was a standout.  Will definitely make it with these mix-ins again —> spinach and broccoli slaw.

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Pace spinach and slaw in hot wok with oil.  Cook until limp. 
• Meanwhile, prepare the cornbread mix according to package directions.
• Pour cornbread into a greased cast iron dish and bake for 10 minutes at 425.
• Remove cornbread from oven and place spinach and slaw on top.
• Combine eggs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.  Beat thoroughly.
