CHEESY QUICHE

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for the muffin pan
3 strips thick-cut bacon, chopped
5 cups cornflakes, lightly crushed
1 1/2 cups grated white sharp Cheddar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 Vidalia onion, diced
1 teaspoon ground mustard powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 bunch collard greens, stemmed and finely chopped (about 3 cups)
1 cup half-and-half
4 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heavily spray a 12-cup nonstick muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 6 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon and pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat (see Cook's Note) into a large, heatproof bowl. To the bacon fat, add the crushed corn flakes and Cheddar. Stir the mixture together until it starts to clump. Press the mixture into the cups of the prepared muffin pan. Bake until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and cool slightly on a baking rack in the pan.
  • Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the onions and cook until softened and starting to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle on the mustard, salt, paprika and pepper. Stir the collard greens into the onion mixture. Continue cooking the greens, stirring occasionally, until wilted, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Whisk together the half-and-half and eggs, then stir in the greens. Pour some of the egg mixture into each crust in the pan to come about three-quarters of the way up and sprinkle on the bacon. Bake until the egg has set and doesn't jiggle, 15 to 20 minutes. Set the mini quiches on a baking rack for 10 minutes to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

NO-BAKE EASY CORN FLAKE CRUNCHIES



No-Bake Easy Corn Flake Crunchies image

I have been making these incredibly easy, sweet treats since I was a kid, and I still LOVE THEM! I don't do the add-ins 'cause I think they are great without them. One tip: try to work fairly quickly after removing from heat because the mixture gets harder to work with as it cools. Having all the ingreds. pre-measured before starting makes this a lot easier. This is a great treat

HOMEMADE CORN FLAKES CEREAL



Homemade Corn Flakes Cereal image

This recipe for corn flakes cereal made from scratch bakes in the oven. It stays crunchy in milk and has a lovely sweet and toasted corn flavor that is almost identical to that of the boxed cereal. The recipe makes a small batch (enough for 2 to 3 small bowls of cereal), but you can easily double or triple it-just be sure to divide the batter into additional baking sheets so that it doesn't come out too thick. This cereal is also great to snack on, to top yogurt or ice cream, or to crush to use as breading.

Provided by Alejandra Ramos

Time 2h10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Vegetable or grapeseed oil or nonstick baking spray, for greasing
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and grease lightly with oil or baking spray.
  • Whisk 1 cup of the cornmeal with the sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add the vanilla extract and 3/4 cup water, a little at a time, stirring until the batter is smooth and thin. If it's too dry, add additional water. You want something the consistency of pancake batter.
  • Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly. (It won't reach the edges, but that's OK. You want a nice thin layer, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.)
  • Combine the remaining 1/2 cup cornmeal with 1 teaspoon water and mix until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs; add an additional teaspoon or 2 of water, if too dry.
  • Sprinkle the top of the batter with the cornmeal crumbs (this will help give it a little extra crunchy texture).
  • Bake on the center rack, keeping a close eye on it, until the dough has dried out and cracked, 10 to 15 minutes. You're looking for a cracked arid-desert landscape look to it.
  • Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Let the baking sheet cool, then use your hands to tear and crack the dough into small flakes. Return to the oven and bake on the center rack until the pieces are toasted, crisp, and golden, about 45 minutes.
  • Let cool completely before serving with milk or as you would any cereal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn flakes: Not all corn flakes are created equal. For crushed corn flakes, you want to use a variety that is not too sweet or salty. Plain corn flakes are a good option, or you can use a flavored variety that you enjoy.
  • Crush the corn flakes to the desired consistency: You can use a food processor, blender, or rolling pin to crush the corn flakes. If you want a fine powder, use a food processor or blender. If you want a coarser texture, use a rolling pin.
  • Use crushed corn flakes as a breading: Crushed corn flakes make a great breading for chicken, fish, and vegetables. They add a crispy texture and a mild flavor.
  • Use crushed corn flakes as a topping: Crushed corn flakes can be used as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or fruit. They add a crunchy texture and a sweet flavor.
  • Use crushed corn flakes as a snack: Crushed corn flakes can be enjoyed as a snack on their own or mixed with nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.

Conclusion:

Crushed corn flakes are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes. They are a great way to add texture, flavor, and crunch to your favorite dishes. Whether you are using them as a breading, a topping, or a snack, crushed corn flakes are sure to please everyone at the table.
