Asparagus, Corn and Bacon Quiche

I haven't posted anything in a week, I know, but work is taking up all of my time. I'll try to redeem myself with this very tasty and quick quiche, for which you'll need:

- 1 lb asparagus, woody ends trimmed

- 4 oz bacon, finely sliced (optional)

- 1 medium onion, finely chopped

- 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed

- one handful of sun-dried tomatoes, sliced (optional)

- 2 eggs

- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

- 2 oz grated Parmesan cheese

- salt and pepper to taste

- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed and rolled out for a 10-inch tart form

First and foremost, fry the bacon in a non-stick pan. When it's done, take out the bacon on a plate, leaving the fat in the pan, because the asparagus will go in there immediately

Quick and Simple Mini-Pizzas - Mini pizza rapide

Another item for the birthday party: mini-pizzas, the kids absolutely adored them. The advantage of this dough is that it doesn't need to rise, due to the quantity of yeast, so there is no waiting time. This is one of Afrodite's recipes and I'm really sorry I didn't have time for it until now!

Un alt preparat pentru ziua domnisoarei mele: mini-pizza, pe care copiii le-au adorat. Avantajul acestui aluat este ca nu trebuie dospit datorita cantitatii de drojdie folosite, deci nu pierdeti vremea asteptand sa creasca. Reteta apartine Afroditei si imi pare tare rau ca n-am facut-o pana acum!
