Great Puree Stage recipe... Cheese Custard Pie.. 20g protein per serv
Cheese Custard Pie/Quiche
Desperate for normalcy during this stage.. I found this in the Joy of Cooking and improvised with low-fat options. I was craving eggs but couldn't get them down any other way.. great brunch recipe that the whole family should enjoy!! SUPER CHEESY and EASY!!
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cup of skim milk
3 eggs
1 cup of 2% shredded/grated mozzarella
1 oz. of 50% fat-free grated cheddar cheese (Cabot is good) or another oz of mozzarella.
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp of pepper
1/2 tsp of onion powder
8 tsp of grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 325.. spray an 8-inch dish with Pam and set aside
1) Scald milk (to heat almost to the boiling point) in a medium sized sauce pan (it's ok if it burns a little.. we actually found this adds more flavor).
2) Reduce the heat and add all the shredded cheese (not the parmesan yet). Stir until the cheese is melted. It may be a little lumpy but it will thin out as you add more ingredients.
3) Add: salt, pepper, onion powder, and 2tsp parmesan cheese.. and/or any other spices you desire!!
4) Remove the mixture from the heat and beat in ONE egg at a time.
5) Pour mixture into the pie pan, sprinkle 6 tsp of parmesan cheese evenly over mixture and bake for 45 minutes.

** in later stages you can add grated onion instead of powder and use a pre-made pie crust for I am sure extra yummieness!!!
