Spinach Cheese Quiche

Another favorite quiche, Spinach!

It's another easy mix and pour filling.

Micro the spinach for about 4 minutes in a
covered casserole. Break up with a fork and when
it's cool enough to handle, squeeze out the liquid.
Or use 1C packed fresh spinach, stems removed
and roughly chopped.

 Scatter onto the bottom of an unbaked pie shell.

 Combine the seasonings and sprinkle half on top.
Top with the shredded cheese. I used all cheddar
this time, but you can use any combination of
 cheddar, Swiss and a little Muenster is good too.

 Whisk the eggs with the half&half and the
remaining seasonings and carefully
pour over the cheese.

alternately...
You can also just combine everything is a large
bowl. That's what I usually do.

 Redistribute with a fork if needed.

 Bake @ 350 for 30-35  minutes.

 Let rest 5 minutes before cutting.

A nice lunch.

Quiche and Tell: Crab Quiche

I love quiche, so I made this old one from my

 recipe file over the weekend. Crab Quiche.

This yummy quiche has a few unusual ingredients.

If you have a piecrust ready, the rest of the 

ingredients are quickly mixed together. 

Shredded cheddar cheese, eggs,
sour cream, a can of French fried onions, 

a can of crabmeat, and seasonings. 

 Mix that all together.

 Pour into an unbaked pie shell.

 Bake for 35 minutes.

 A green salad or tomato salad would be a 

nice side. We had tea, but wine would be nice

too for company. A chocolate chip bundt

cake for dessert, company or not!

 Brunch or lunch.

Leftovers for the next day...a bonus! 

Ok, here's the recipe, because I quiche and tell!

Crab Quiche

3 XL eggs slightly beaten

(season as desired)

Fiesta Quiche

I was in the mood for a quiche for lunch. 

Haven't made a quiche in ages and then I see 

several quiches this week on blogs. 

I had to make one. Luckily I had all the

 ingredients in the house for my Fiesta Quiche.

It's quick and easy. Just mix everything

together and pour into a prepared crust.

Use a large deep dish pie pan.

 I still had one store crust. 

Just unroll and into the pan it goes.

 It's great leftover the next day too. 

You can even cheat and make it without a crust

.....if you're in a hurry.

Fiesta Quiche

5 eggs

1-1/2 C whole milk

1/4 C salsa

1 can diced green chilies

1/2 C finely chopped onion 

2 C  monterey jack/cheddar cheese

9" unbaked deep pie shell

pinch of cumin, salt, chili powder, opt.

Whisk the eggs well. Whisk in the milk,

salsa, onion, green chilies, and 

optional seasonings, Stir in the cheese.

Shape the pie shell into a deep dish pan.

Pour in the filling. Bake @350 45 minutes

until puffed and center is firm.

Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy!
