Crustless Spinach & Mushrooms Slow-Cooker Quiche

 

Last updated 8/1/2012 at Noon

Hey everyone, I came across this neat slow-cooker recipe. It is so hot out there who wants to have to cut the oven on? Well now just pull out the slow-cooker and head off to work or go shopping because this recipe cooks on low for four hours at least or a couple hours on high. Just sauté the bacon and veggies, then mix it all together. A nice green salad would be great with this. Happy eating!

Ingredients

Disposable slow cooker liner Nonstick cooking spray

1 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained

4 slices bacon

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cups coarsely chopped portobello mushrooms

1/2 cup chopped red sweet pepper (1 small)

1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese or Swiss cheese (6 ounces)

8 eggs

2 cups half-and-half or whole milk

2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives

1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 cup packaged biscuit mix

Directions

1. Line a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker with disposable slow cooker liner; coat liner with cooking spray. Using clean paper towels, press spinach to remove as much liquid as possible; set aside.

4. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for4 to 5 hours or on high-heat setting for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Turn off cooker. If possible, remove crockery liner from cooker. Cool for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.
