Crustless Meditteranean Quiche

This delicious quiche is slightly different from normal ones; it is crisp overall, and without the outer pastry crust. The amalgamation of flavors from Mediterranean cuisine is a real delight to the taste buds.

Servings: 8

Cooking time: 5 hours

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1½ cup chopped fresh spinach
• 1 cup shredded feta cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers
• ½ cup tomatoes sun dried, or cooked over high flame for two minutes.
• 1 cup Original Bisquick mix or homemade mix
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
• 4-6 cloves garlic minced
• 2 cups cooked boneless chicken, coarsely minced
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese for garnish, if desired

To make the Bisquick mix:

• 6 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 cup vegetable shortening

Directions:

1. For the Bisquick mix, crush the shortening into fine crumbs in a pastry blender. Sift together flour, salt and baking powder and mix in the shortening.
2. Grease the slow cooker with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk and Bisquick mix till they are well-combined.
3. Add in spinach, feta cheese, bell peppers, basil leaves, and garlic and chicken mince. Mix well to combine.
4. Cover and cook on low heat for 5 hours till the edges turn crisp golden.
5. Cut into pieces to serve. Garnish with a dash of feta cheese over each serving.

Variation: you may use homemade curd cheese instead of feta cheese.
