Quiche



Tonight for dinner I made quiche. Cindy (Denton's mom) inspired me. When we were in Cali over the holidays she made quiche for lunch, and I was thinking today how amazing it was, so of course, I just had to make it. I tried calling her for the recipe but she wasn't home, so I tried the one in my cook book. I am glad I did. I mean, Cindy's was amazing, but this one, was AMAZING! Here is the recipe: (this makes one 9 in. pie)

Ingredients:

1 recipe for pie crust ( 9 in) or pre-made pie crust (pilsbury)
4 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups half-and-half (I used non-fat milk instead)
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
dash of nutmeg
2 cups of chopped spinach
1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese of choice
1 T. of flour

Directions:

1. Prepare crust as directed on container or how directions are in crust recipe.

2. Lower oven if needed to 325 degrees. In a medium bowl stir together eggs, half-and-half (or milk) onion, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in spinach, or meat of choice. In a small bowl toss together the cheese and flour. Add to egg mixture, mix well.

3. Pour egg mixture into hot, baked pastry shell. Bake in oven for 40-45 min or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent overbrowning. Let stand 10 min before serving and ENJOY!
