So I wasn't going to post any recipes on here as my sister does that and I don't want to encroach on her thing but then I talked to my Mom and we realized that when it includes herbs from my garden that it should be ok as she is more about her veggies. Then we thought well hey we don't share the same readers so it should be ok. Well just in case she reads this or you all want to check out what she has cooking....cause she has a lot cooking here is her blog - My Side of Life, please don't feel bad if you follow her she has some good stuff.
Anyways on to this evenings dinner.
I picked these lovely greens this evening then chopped them up. Here is a list of what herbs I used:
Sage
Basil
Garlic Chives
Oregano
Green Onions
Strawberry Spinach Leaves
Not all of the cut herbs were added but I forgot to really measure so I will have to guess. All the herbs and onions fit into a regular size dinner bowl....filled it about 3/4 full. So lets see about 6 basil leaves, 3 stems of oregano leaves (each was about 6"), 5 strawberry spinach leaves, about 1/4 medium size onion, 3 sage leaves, and a handful of chopped chives. For the rest of the filling it was 3 eggs, 1cup milk, pie crust, 1/4cup cheese.
Cook the crust till lightly brown (about 10 min) at 450. Cook the herbs and onion in a tsp of oil to keep it moist. Beat onion herb mixture in with the eggs and milk and pour into crust and bake at 350 for 45-60 min or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. This is how it looked when it was done and it tasted wonderful.
This was the other pie that I made with herb one for my kids as they don't always like the looks of green stuff in their food. This one was made with cheese, eggs, milk, minced onion, and minced garlic. The cheese, eggs, and milk were the same amounts. The garlic was about 1tbsp and onion 2tbsp.
So there it is. Give it a try or add your own spin to it. If you do try it let me know. Oh and as I do a lot of by sight measuring please don't quote me on the amounts of everything.
Gardening is a blessing. Teaching others is a responsibility. But to enjoy gardening and teach others is priceless.
