Prijecnac (Yugoslavian Cheese Loaf)
Easy to make, rich and tasty appetizer -- something like a quiche. Good cold, but fabulous out of the oven. (I got this recipe from a friend and fellow cat lover, Olga Porobich)
Main recipe:
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 pound grated Monterey Jack Cheese
1 pint cottage cheese (2 cups)
1 stick (1/4 pound) melted butter or margarine
Mix all ingredients into a batter. Bake in pan at 375 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm.
Variation 1: add chili rellano peppers (Oretga brand? -- peeled and seeded) when preparing batter.
Variation 2 (I used this last week at a potluck, very enthusiastically received):
Add:
1 sausage, sauted
1/4 yellow onion, diced, sauted with sausage
1/4 pound cooked asparagus tips, chopped finely
1/4 pound sliced cooked mushrooms
Mix with batter and bake. The baking time took about 5 minutes longer to get the bubbling brown top I'm used to with this, which surprised me -- I'd thought the heated sausage would cause it to cook faster...
Veggie Pizza Hors D'ouvres
Recipe provided by Mildred Terzich (Olga's cousin)
2 packages of crescent rolls, rolled out flat on a cookie sheet (get rid of the serrations).
Bake 10 - 12 minutes per instructions on the package.
16 oz. of cream cheese, softened. Blend in (to taste)
Garlic powder
onion flakes
dill
Spread mixture over baked crescent rolls.
Spread generously and pat into spiced roll:
Tiny broccoli flowerets
Tiny cauliflower flowerets
shreaded carrots
shreaded radishs
minced green onions
shreaded jicama
Refrigerate overnight. Slice into 'pizza slices'. Delicious!

:o :o I use a medium rectangular Pyrex baking dish. It's roughly 9 inches by 18 inches?? (At this moment it's in the dishwasher and I can't get to it. Watch this thread...) Oh rats, no, don't. Just remembered that I use this pan when making more than a single recipe.
:confused: Let's see. I usually double the recipe and that pan gets about 2/3 of the resulting batter and the rest goes into the smaller cake pan. :o :mad: :o Logan -- I have NO idea for the regular recipe/not doubled... You want to put it in a pan so that the mixture is about halfway up -- it 'poofs' up slightly so filling the pan runs a high risk of overflow. (Pun not spotted till it was too late, but I like it and won't rephrase the sentence...) Is this babbling any help???
Note: with the butter and such, it's a rich mixture that you don't need to butter the pan. It usually bakes into a firm cake-like loaf that pulls away from the side on it's own. Let it cool slightly and you can cut it into cubes and serve it piled in a pyramid on a serving tray. Very effective/attractive at a party or shower.
Good luck (I feel like I've mangled these instructions.) :o

MM, yes I think it should work fine. I'm not that familar with vegetarian, but it's pretty versatile, & think it would work fine with the changes.
