Quiche in a Blender Recipe

At the risk of becoming utterly bored, I have been experimenting with soft foods to make them at the very least palatable. Here follows a recipe for those of you who, like me, have to eat soft foods subsequent to oral surgery.

You will need a blender for this recipe.

1 frozen pie crust - pierce with fork pre-bake for about 10 minutes*
4 eggs
1/4 cup light cream
1/2 cup feta cheese
1/2 red onion cut into 8 pieces
2 cloves garlic (or 1 clove elephant garlic)
1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes
1 tsp dill
1 tsp curry
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp dried chives
1/2 tsp dried mint
1/4 tsp oregano
salt & pepper to taste
1 C shredded mozzarella

* Many pie crusts are still manufactured with lard. Read ingredients carefully when making your selection.

Place eggs, cream and spice in blender and start blender on low. Gradually add onion, garlic, feta cheese. Blend on medium for about 1minute until frothy. Place the mozarrella cheese on the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture on top. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour until done. You can test this by inserting a knife in the middle and ensuring it comes out clean or gentle pushing the top of the quiche. It should give some resistance and no longer giggle like jell-o.

Smoothies A La Post Dental Surgery

For this recipe you will need a blender. Due to the consistency of the the liquid, you may have to take the jar off the stand and stir it up with a spoon to prevent clumping on the bottom.

What you will need:

3/4 C yoghurt -- plain

1/2 C apple sauce

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

2-3 Tsp brown sugar

1/2 C ice

3/4 C frozen berries of your choice. I used mixed berry medley

Place the ingredient is the blender in the order and puree for about 30-45 seconds until desired consistency is achieved.

Avoid using straws after dental surgery as it my cause the bloodclots in the sockets of your mouth to become dislodged and cause a VERY painful condition called dry socket.
