Instructions
  1. Steam veggies and onion until almost tender.
  2. Thoroughly drain liquid from veggie/onion mixture (if you have a cheesecloth*, you might want to take the extra step of squeezing out the remaining liquid)
  3. Toss together veggie/onion mixture, pepper and cheese in a lightly greased 10×1½” quiche/pie plate [you can also use an 8x8x2 square pan or 11x7x2 rectangular pan – these work better if you are serving buffet or potluck style].
  4. Beat milk, eggs and salt together.
  5. Combine milk/eggs with Bisquick, mixing until smooth.
  6. Pour Bisquick mixture into pie plate over the filling.
  7. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean.
  8. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
VARIATIONS (the scrumptious part)
  1. Combo of broccoli and mushrooms for the veggies.
  2. Combo of asparagus and mushrooms for the veggies.
  3. Use spinach and water-packed artichoke hearts for the veggies (make sure to squeeze this out REALLY good before combining with cheese); then use a combination of feta cheese and jack cheese for the cheese portion.
  4. Use spinach for your veggies (squeeze out REALLY well), and add some crumbled precooked Bacon; use Swiss cheese or a combination of Swiss and jack for the cheese portion.
  5. MY FAVORITE VARIATION – use a combination of 1-1½ cups of asparagus and a little celery for the veggies, add in ½-1 cup of shredded crab (the fake crab that you can buy at the fresh fish counter works perfectly for this if you don’t want to spring for REAL crab), and a nice sprinkling of fresh chopped dill; use jack or pepper jack cheese for the cheese portion.
Recipe Notes

If you make this in the quiche/pie plate, it will serve 6-8 people; if you make this in a square or rectangular pan, you can easily get 9-16 squares for a side dish.

These reheat in the microwave nicely, so making the night before a brunch is perfectly fine. If you don’t want to reheat, get all of the veggies cooked/drained, and in your quiche/pie plate the night before, then mix up your Bisquick mixture in the morning, pour it on, and bake fresh.
