Spinach Quiche
When I can't find anything else in the kitchen for dinner, I
can usually scrounge up a quiche. This
one, made with traditional Greek flavors, is especially tasty, and makes a nice
vegetarian contribution to your weekly dinners.
You can make the crust from scratch if you must (or have time), but the
store-bought crusts have gotten pretty good and help to make this dish
especially lazy-friendly. I used to make
them from scratch when I was young and had time for things like napping, but
now, I'm just relieved to get dinner done.
You will be too.
Spinach Quiche Recipe
- 1 store-bought crust (frozen or refrigerated)
- 1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach
- 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- Salt & pepper
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2-inch piece feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Set out refrigerated pie crust for 15 minutes. Thaw spinach (or cook if you don't have a
microwave) and drain well. Pressing with
a spoon against a colander works well.
Squeeze lemon over spinach. Sauté
onion and mushrooms in olive oil about 3 minutes. Stir in spinach and season with salt and
pepper. In a medium bowl, beat eggs with
milk. Season with salt and pepper. Fit crust into a glass pie dish and crimp
edges (or just shove them until they fit).
Set pie crust and dish on top of a cookie sheet in case of
overflow. Put spinach mixture into crust
and top with both cheeses. Pour egg/milk
mixture into pan. Bake for 15 minutes,
then reduce temperature to 375 and bake an additional 30 minutes. Serve hot.
