It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Large mushroom caps are filled with a lush bacon and swiss quiche filling. A great recipe for brunch or cocktail party.

24 large mushrooms
4 slices bacon
6 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 eggs
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
Wash mushrooms and pat dry. Remove stems. Chop the stems and set aside.
In large skillet, fry bacon until crisp. Drain, then crumble. Pour bacon fat from skillet.
Brush mushroom caps with 4 tablespoons of butter. Place in large shallow baking pan.
Fry onion in remaining butter about 2 minutes. Add reserved stems and cook 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, lightly beat eggs. Stir in cream, cheese and salt. Stir in crumbled bacon and the mushroom mixture. Spoon enough filling into each mushroom to come to the top.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or until filling is set.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Easy and delicious! The quiche filling can easily be modified to suit your tastes (basically any flavor quiche would go great!).
