A week ago today I was busy celebrating the impending wedding of my very best friend. Her sister and I took care to create a brunch menu which of course had to include quiche. This was the first time I had ever made one and I'm really happy with the way it turned out and I think everyone else thought it turned out well too. A quiche can really be a hodge podge of whatever leftover veggies or meats you have in your fridge along with some eggs and a pie crust.Below you will find what I whipped up for this special occasion.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
3 teaspoons minced garlic, I cheated and used the jarred stuff
1 small onion, rough chopped
don't hate me-1/2 a carton of fresh baby portabellos
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (6 ounce) package herb and garlic feta, crumbled
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
2 frozen prepared pie crusts OR 1 frozen deep dish pie crust
8 eggs
1 cup milk salt
salt & pepper to taste
What to do:
1.)Preheat oven to 375
2.)In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Saute garlic and onion in butter until lightly browned. Stir in spinach, mushrooms and feta
3.) Spoon mixture into pie crusts.
4.)In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into the pie shell, allowing egg mixture to thoroughly combine with spinach mixture.
5.)Bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle tops with Cheddar cheese, don't be afraid that it will be too cheesy because it will be delicious. Bake an additional 35 to 40 minutes, until set in center.
Allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.
I think next time I'd love to throw in some grape tomatos!
