BFD: Breakfast for Dinner

We like pancakes on a Friday night... And they're great before a race. I use the Bisquick mix, but instead of a cup of the mix (it calls for two), I use a cup of whole-wheat germ. We topped these with La Lechera (sweetened condensed milk in a squeeze bottle, LOOK INTO IT), and raspberries. My husband, the frigging genius, put his Applewood Farms bacon right on top.

QUICHE:
4 eggs

Pinch nutmeg
Mustard greens, stems removed and steamed, then finely chopped

Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour, with a pie guard around the crust.
