Quiche is an extremely versatile dish, with literally hundreds of variants available with a range of ingredients from the mundane to the exotic. Spinach isn't a particularly exotic ingredient, but it makes for great tasting quiche. With a few other additions, like feta cheese and mushrooms, you can make a spinach quiche to die for.
Instructions
1. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium to low heat. Be careful to not burn the butter.
2. Saute the onions and garlic in the butter until they have browned. Don't burn the garlic, or it will be bitter.
3. Add the rest of the solid ingredients to the skillet (spinach, cheese, mushrooms). Mix well and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Put the formed mixture in the pie crust, being careful to spread it thoroughly and evenly.
5. Whisk the eggs and milk in a separate bowl until they are completely mixed.
6. Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust, over the spinach mixture. Mix the 2 together, but do so carefully so as to not break the crust. Let the egg seep into the nooks and crannies of the spinach mixture.
7. Spread a thin layer of extra cheddar over the top of the quiche. You can also use a little feta in addition.
8. Place the quiche into the oven (preheated to 375) for 30 to 40 minutes. If the center has not fully set, then leave the quiche in the oven for a few more minutes, checking to ensure that it's completely cooked through.
9. Wait for the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
