Boathouse Bed & Breakfast Recipes

Hash Brown Quiche

• 2 c frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
• 1 c half and half or whole milk
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 teas pepper
• 1 c cubed cooked ham
• 1/4 c red onion
• 1/4 c bell pepper
• 1 c shredded cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 375.  Press hash brown potatoes onto bottom and sides of greased 9 inch pie plate.  Bake for 10 minutes.  Sprinkle half of cheese over crust.    Mix half and half, eggs and pepper in bowl, beat until well mixed.  Stir  in onions and  bell pepper.  Pour egg mixture into pan over crust.  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.  Top with remaining cheese.  Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

You can use any cheese that you like or omit the ham and add bacon.   Omit the meat totally if you prefer it vegetarian.  This is a great recipe that is gluten free.  

Baked Apple Pancake

• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 c milk
• 1/2 teas salt
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 c sifted all purpose flour
• 1/2 c sugar mixed with 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
• 1/4 c brown sugar
• 4 tbsp butter
• Syrup for serving is optional, I use Vermont Maple Syrup.

Beat eggs until thick and add milk, salt, sugar and oil.  Sift in flour, mixing well.  Let batter stand for 30 minutes.  Preheat oven to 375.  Butter two 9-inch round cake pans and sprinkle with some of cinnamon sugar mixture.  Arrange apples in pans and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar and brown sugar.  Dot with butter.  Pour batter over apples, dividing evenly between pans.  Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until top is golden and set.  Cut into wedges and serve hot with warm syrup if desired.  Yields 8 to 10 servings.

*  I use 4-5 oval ramekins for this amount of ingredients.  I have also done this in the 9 inch pans as well.  Sprinkle with some powdered sugar before serving  and I love sweet so adding a bit of maple syrup is a nice addition.  Enjoy!!
