I decided to pull out an old favorite today and make a quiche for dinner. I've made it mostly for special breakfasts/brunches, but it works great for a dinner too and is a great way to use all those yummy veggies from the garden.
INGREDIENTS:
* 1/2 cup butter
* 3 cloves garlic, chopped
* 1 small onion
* 1 (10 oz) pkg frozen spinach, thawed and drained (or fresh spinach)
* 1 (4.5 oz) can mushrooms, drained (or fresh!)
* 1 (8 oz) pkg shredded cheddar cheese
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1 (9 in) unbaked pie crust (I made mine from scratch)
* 1 cup milk
* 4 eggs, beaten
* optional - 1 (6 oz) herb and garlic feta (this is good if you have it on hand, but I have omitted it before and it is still really good)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Melt butter over medium heat. Saute garlic and onion for about 7 minutes.
3. Stir in spinach, mushrooms, feta, and 1/2 cup cheese. (I also add in extra veggies here - tonight I added green peppers and tomatoes)
4. Season with salt and pepper and spoon into crust.
5. In medium bowl, whisk eggs and milk.
6. Pour into crust, allowing mixture to combine.
7. Bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle top with remaining cheese.
8. Bake additional 35-40 min until set in center. Allow to stand 10 min before eating.
Buon appetito!
