Quick Quiche

If your life is as hectic as mine, you are always looking for something to fix for dinner that is quick, easy, requires as few ingredients as possible, and tastes good. Once in a while I venture out and try a creation of my own. Last week I did just that and would like to share my version of a "quick quiche." I am sure that there are many different ways you can change this recipe out or kick it up a notch. Enjoy being creative!

INGREDIENTS
..4 potatoe latke pancakes (frozen)
..1 small carton Egg Beaters (any flavor)
..1/8 to 1/4 cup diced onions
..1/4 to 1/2 cup grated mozarella, low-moisture, cheese
..1 tablespoon butter, divided in half

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.

Place 1/2 tablespoon butter in a medium-sized fry pan and turn heat to low to medium. Add frozen potato pancakes. Heat potatoes until slightly crispy on each side, taking care to not burn them.

Remove potatoes from fry pan and place in buttered glass pie dish, arranging to best fit the configuration of the pan.

Add the diced onions to the fry pan with remaining butter. Saute until just starting to turn opaque. Turn off heat and remove pan, transferring onions to the baking dish and distributing them evenly across the top of the potatoes. If hot to to touch let the dish cool for a few minutes before proceeding.

Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the onions and potatoes.

Add the egg mixture over the top of the potatoes, onions and cheese. There is no need to stir. Suggest slowly pouring the eggs in on a side between the glass and the potatoes.

Bake uncovered for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until the egg mixture is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let sit for about 5 minutes.

Cut into pie wedges and serve.
