A Quick Quiche Soufflé
I was given a Memorial Day challenge: to share my favorite recipe, or create a new one by Chef Kim using old store brand products.
I figured, I could definitely check that off on my list. We are already big time store brand shoppers. Often, we find better deals on store brands then using coupons on name brands.
So, I accepted the challenge and made Mini Spinach & Feta Quiche Soufflé (Chef Kim’s recipe) using this cast of characters. As you can see, they represent several different store brands!
My variations and recommendations:
I don’t cook or eat onions. So, we left those out and I used a little onion powder in their place. Also, after sautéing the spinach, I recommend adding it directly to the pan. It is too hard to pour it with the filling and ends up making a huge mess.
They were pretty easy to make once I figured out what to do with the spinach. We thought they were very tasty. The feta cheese added a nice kick on top. When I was sent a picture, they looked like they had a crust; ours however, did not.
