Recipe(tried): Basic Recipe for Impossible Pie and Impossible Greek Spinach Pie

Breakfast and Brunch
Impossible Pies! The variations are endless and I've been rolling and freezing wedges of them in tortillas for on-the-run burritos, etc. These require as little or much prep as you want and can pack a wallop of nutrition with good ingredients, too.

BASIC RECIPE FOR IMPOSSIBLE PIE

I've looked at dozens and dozens of recipes and, for a 9-inch pie plate, you basically use this mixture as the batter:

1 cup milk
1/2 cup Bisquick
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt

OR:

1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup Bisquick
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
Flavorings/seasoning (as you wish)

Mix using a blender.
Pour it into a greased 9-inch pie plate over whatever you like:
cooked ground meat or cooked diced chicken or turkey, cooked vegetables, grated cheese, etc. or combination.
Bake it at 350 degrees F for 35-45 minutes until set to the touch and a bit golden.

I really like this very much. Here's my current favorite (originally posted by Betsy in the chat Bisquick collection with some notes from me .. I've been making a different one nearly each day for a week:

IMPOSSIBLE GREEK SPINACH PIE
GOOD! Smells wonderful :)))

1/2 cup green onions, chopped (Janet: used 2 small onions cuz it's what I had)
1 tbsp Butter
1 (10 oz.) pkg. chopped spinach, thawed and drained (J: add sauteed mushrooms)
1 cup cottage cheese (J: can use less)
1 cup milk
1/2 cup Bisquick baking mix
3 eggs (Janet: I used 2 .. very much filled the 9-inch glass pie plate)
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground black pepper (J: really needs salt even with parmesan!! say 1/4 tsp.)
3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (Janet: or feta, if you have it)
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
(maybe a bit of oregano? didn't use it but am thinking about it)
(J: maybe add olives (easy on salt, if so)? Kalamata .. mmmm)

Cook onions in butter; mix in spinach.

In greased 9-inch pie dish layer spinach and cottage cheese. Put last 7 ingredients in blender and mix well. Pour over casserole.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 35 minutes, until knife comes out clean.
