LJ Recipe Exchange!

This is inspired by an email recipe exchange I was invited to join last week. I'm not sure I'll get that many recipes from that - but I figured if I posted what I sent, and suggested that you all post recipes you like, that would potentially result in more recipes..

This recipe is a bit "white trash" in that it calls for pre-prepared, packaged stuff. Still, it's tasty and great for when you are pressed for time. I served it at a brunch one and blindleadsblind especially liked it. This makes a great breakfast, it reheats well and tastes good cold too. Points aren't too bad if you are into WW.

Quick and Easy Blue Cheese and Bacon quiche

ingredients:

1 Pillsbury or similar refrigerated pie crust
1 16 oz carton of Egg Beaters or similar product
1 package of pre-cooked bacon (I usually grab what's on sale)
8 oz blue cheese salad dressing (I like a reduced fat version)

directions:

Follow the directions on the pie crust package for bringing the crust to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Press the pie crust into a 9" pie tin or quiche dish. Chop up the bacon and spread it over the pie crust. Whisk together the Egg Beaters and the blue cheese dressing; season to taste - the bacon will make it salty enough but I like to add pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce. Pour over the chopped bacon.

Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until puffy and a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean.
