Creamy Spinach Quiches
Serves 6-8
Ingredients
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, diced
10 oz package frozen spinach defrosted and squeezed or the equivalent of fresh spinach
Coarse salt and ground pepper
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (about 2 cups)
1 Basic Pie Dough, fitted into a 9-inch pie plate
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium. Add the onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach to the skillet; season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 /2 teaspoon pepper.
Sprinkle the bottom of the pie dough with half the cheese. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach. Sprinkle it with the remaining cheese. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet and transfer it to the oven.
Bake the quiche until set, 45 to 50 minutes. Let quiches stand 15 minutes before serving.

A very tasty looking meal. I love quiche and could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Quiche sounds good for dinner! And I especially love the combination of ingredients in the cucumber salad; nice change from my old regular cucumber salad!

This is making me rather hungry. Shame it’s too hot to put the oven on, yet…

I so seldom think of breakfast for dinner, so thank you for this delicious reminder. The Cucumber Radish Salad sounds like a refreshing side, too! If you don’t mind, I’d like to share a good red wine vinaigrette recipe:
