Quiche

Preheat oven to 375F

Chop up any veggies/meat you have and sauté/cook them. We used the following:
- broccoli
- white onion
- yellow pepper
- spinach
- goat brie
- white cheddar
- garlic scapes
- leftover rotisserie chicken













After sautéing veggies, add in the chicken and the cheese, and a mixture of 4 beaten eggs with ~1 cup of milk. Add salt+pepper to taste.












Bake at 375F for ~30minutes (we used a cast iron skillet). Take out, let sit for 10 min

Walnut Chocolate Fudge

Super easy recipe (makes 8"x8" pan):
1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
3 cups of high quality chocolate (we used 50:50 milk:bittersweet)
1/4 cup butter

Pre-melt butter first in large glass bowl/microwave (supposedly gets rid of potential gritty texture)
Add chocolate and sweetened condensed milk to pre-melted butter
Microwave for a total of 3 minutes on medium power, taking breaks to stir the mixture. Make sure that mixture doesn't ever come to a boil.














Spray the 8"x8" pan with Pam (or line with wax paper for easy non-stick removal later). Transfer the mixture to it with a spatula, make sure to press down to remove any bubbles. Chill in the fridge for an hour or so. Take out, slice and enjoy!
