German Pancakes

I've been trying to find fun ways to keep Landon occupied during the day. Baking has been one of our favorite things to do together. The first thing we ever made together was German Pancakes. He loves how tall it gets in the oven. Every time I pull it out of the oven he will point and say WOW! We half the recipe when it's just the two of us eating.

Hash Brown Quiche

Everytime  my mom comes for a visit she makes us something new to eat. On this particular visit she made us yummy quiche. This is one of my favorite breakfast dishes.

2 cups chopped fresh spinach

3 eggs

1 cup half-and -half cream

salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Press hash browns onto the bottom of casserole dish. Drizzle with melted butter and bake for 20 minutes, or until it begins to brown. In a small bowl, combine ham, onion, spinach and shredded cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, and salt and pepper. When hash browns are ready, spread ham mixture on the top then cover with egg mixture. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 25-30 minutes or until filling is puffy and golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

Note : Egg mixture should cover the top of the ham mixture if it doesn't you can whisk a few more eggs and pour it on top.
