Recipe Adapted From: allrecipes.com – Megan
Serving Size: 5

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 ½ cups warm milk
• ⅓ cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 can vegetable oil spray

Directions

Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes

1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt and baking powder; set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar. Stir in the milk, butter and vanilla. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture; beat just until barely blended. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.
3. Preheat waffle iron to desired temperature.
4. Fully coat the iron with cooking spray. Ladle the batter into a preheated waffle iron. Cook the waffles until golden and crisp. Serve immediately.

This is one version of the formula that Mollie Katzen gives in The Enchanted Broccoli Forest. There are a few crusts (nut, spinach, breadcrumb), and a number of suggested fillings.

Mashed Potato Crust
30 minutes to prepare, 45 min to bake
Preheat oven to 375 (355 with convection)

Butter a 9 inch pie pan

• Scrub 2 large potatoes, cut into chunks, then boil until soft. Drain and mash.
• Combine with t tbs butter, 1/4 tsp salt, black pepper (to taste), 1/2 finely minced raw onion. I added a few sprinkles of dried thyme too.
• Mix well and then shape into the pie pan.
• Bake 45 minutes (or a little less with a convection oven). Spray with Pam/oil spray half way through.
• Don’t worry about cooling before adding filling.

Quiche Formula. Lay cheese down, then add filling, and then pour on custard. Bake another 35-40 minutes at 375.

1) Cheese
Grate or cube small. I used fresh mozzarella, but the recipe suggests gruyere or cheddar work well. Use 1/4 – 1/3 pound, to cover

2) Filling
1/2 pound chopped and steamed spinach. I added chopped oil packed sun-dried tomatoes, but they suggest sauteed chopped onions and dry mustard and nutmeg as another option

3) Custard
beat 3 large eggs with 1 cup milk (I used a combination of 1 percent and full fat). Use 4 eggs and 1.5 cups if you have a straight sided pan. Pour over the top.
