Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Folklore art theme and Crustless Quiche

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! The theme this week is 'Folklore' and here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2"), I decided to do the Frog Prince from the fairy tale! It is an older piece to which I added a crown.
Also sharing this other ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") I did for this theme.


 

For the Dinner date, I made a crustless Cauliflower and Broccoli quiche based on a recipe shared by Denise.  It was delicious.  I will try different kinds, maybe a quiche lorraine next.

3 c broccoli florets

3 c cauliflower florets

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp pepper

chopped parsley

6 eggs

1/2c Greek yogurt or sour cream

1 scallion chopped

1/2 - 1 c shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 350F

parboil broccoli and cauliflower (approx 10 mins)

season with salt pepper garlic powder

In a separate bowl whisk eggs and yogurt

add vegetables to a pie plate lined with parchment paper

Sprinkle scallions and cheese on top.  Pour egg mix on top, ensure veggies and cheese

are covered with this mix.  Bake 45 mins to one hour at 350F until the eggs are set and the top is slightly browned.

Oh I love your frogs . I keep waiting for the tree frogs/spring peepers to start singing. And I need to make a quiche. Yours looks yummy. And thanks so much for those book recommendations. I'd read the Chemistry one but not the other and it looks pretty good. Happy Thursday.

Your Frog Prince paintings are adorable. They look like prince's too.

I must try this quiche recipe. The crust is what creates all those unwanted calories, so this sounds really healthy, now that eggs are more reasonably priced.
