Recipes for Meatless Meals

(page 4 of 7)

Yield: 16 (Makes 2 quiches)

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 scallions, chopped
  • 2 ripe medium-size tomatoes, chopped
  • dash of salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced about 1/4-inch thick
  • 2 9-inch deep pie shells

Preheat oven to 375 degrees . Mix sour cream, eggs, and cheese. Stir in scallions, tomatoes, and salt and pepper. Lay avocados on bottom of pie shells. There should be just enough slices to cover the bottom. Pour cheese mixture over avocado slices and spread out evenly. Bake until set, golden, and puffy, about 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Top with a spoonful of fresh avocado, tomatoes, and scallions. Add a dollop of sour cream on top.

Made a beautiful presentation. I made it exactly as the recipe stated. I would add salt and pepper into the recipe next time. Cuts cleanly from the pie plate. – Anonymous Review

This is such a great dish. I forgot to get the Monterey cheese and used all sharp and also added fresh garlic! Out of this world. Will make it a lot! – Reviewed by Robert J Blair

Very good flavor and it lends itself to innovations; you could add bacon bits, sausage crumbles, or ham bits... – Anonymous Review
