Spinach and Cheese Egg Souffles

Ingredients

• 1 tube Pillsbury butter flake crescent rolls
• 6 eggs (keep one aside for brushing the tops of the crescent rolls)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh spinach
• 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

 

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a small microwaveable bowl, combine 5 eggs, milk, cheddar cheese, monterey jack cheese, 1 TBS parmesan cheese, spinach, bacon and salt. Mix well. Microwave this mixture for 30 seconds. Stir the mixture, then continue to microwave it in 20 second intervals about 4-5 times. The mixture will get slightly thickened. It will still be very runny and uncooked, but the fact that it is just a tiny bit thicker will help hold up the crescent roll dough when you fold it over the top.
3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into four rectangles. Press the perforated triangles together to make rectangles. Roll out each rectangle until it is in about a 6×6 square.
4. Spray four souffle dishes (about 4-5 inches in diameter) with cooking spray. A extra large muffin pan should work too. Lay a rolled out crescent roll in each dish, with the edges hanging over the sides. Pour 1/3 cup egg mixture on top of each crescent roll dough.
5. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese on top of the egg mixture, diving the cheese between the 4 ramekins. Fold the crescent roll dough overtop the egg mixture.
6. Take the remaining egg and beat it in a small dish. Brush the egg on top of the crescent roll dough.
7. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes, or until browned on top.

Creamy Spinach and Broccoli Lasagna

Serves: 4

Total Time: 1 hr 15 min

• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Kosher salt
• Pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 package (10 oz) frozen leaf spinach
• 1 package (10 oz) frozen broccoli florets

• 1 1/2 cups part-skim mozzarella, grated

• 4 ounce(s) cream cheese, cut into pieces
• 8 no-boil lasagna noodles

directions

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Thaw the spinach and broccoli according to package directions. Squeeze the spinach of excess moisture and pat the broccoli dry. Roughly chop both and place in a large bowl. Mix in the ricotta and 1 cup mozzarella
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
4. Add the milk to the garlic and whisk to combine.
5. Add the onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
6. Bring to a simmer, then whisk in the cream cheese. Gently simmer (do not boil), stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce on the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Top with 2 1/2 noodles (breaking as necessary to fit). Spread a third (about 1/3 cup) of the remaining sauce over the top. Dollop with a third (about 1 1/3 cups) of the ricotta mixture. Repeat twice.
8. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella, cover tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the noodles are tender (a sharp knife should go through with no resistance) and the top is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes more. Let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
