CREASY CONFETTI EGGS

4 eggs, beaten
2 to 3 tablespoons of milk salt and pepper to taste
I cup of creasy greens, finely chopped
1 medium onion, minced
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)
butter or oil for sauteing tamari to taste

Mix the beaten eggs together with the milk, salt, pepper, and greens. Then saute the onion, garlic, and red pepper in butter or oil over medium heat until the onions are transparent and the peppers are soft. Next, make sure that the saute pan is hot enough to make a drop of egg sizzle . . . add the egg mixture . . . and scramble everything together until the creasies turn bright green and the eggs firm up nicely. Sprinkle the confetti eggs with tamari and serve them over whole wheat toast.

CREASY QUICHE

1 clove of garlic, minced
1 cup of chopped onions
2 tablespoons of butter
pie shell, uncooked (try using whole wheat flour)
1-1/4 cups of grated cheese (Monterey Jack or Swiss is good)
3 eggs, beaten
2-1/4 cups of milk
1/2 cup of powdered milk
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of salt dash of pepper
1 to 2 cups of creasy greens, chopped

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Saute the garlic and onions in butter and—after letting them cool awhile—spread them in the pie shell and sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Then mix the remaining ingredients and pour the concoction over the cheese (don't worry . . . the creasies will wilt and shrink as they cook). Bake the quiche for 40 to 45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the custard has set (a toothpick, when poked into the pie, should come out clean). Let the quiche cool before serving.
