Happy October! Eee! Halloween is coming, are you as excited as I am?
Through a weird but pretty boring series of events, I keep ending up with pie crusts. Resisting the urge to just make pies that will surely be consumed over a very short period of time, I've been using these crusts to make quiche. Quiche is a pretty flexible dish in that you can pretty much add whatever you want to it. Based off this recipe from allrecipies.com, here's my variation:

Quiche is a pretty flexible dish in that you can pretty much add whatever you want to it. Based off this recipe from allrecipies.com, here's my variation:
Ingredients //
- 2 nine inch pie crusts
- 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 small white onion, diced
- 5 large crimini mushrooms, diced
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 package frozen cut spinach (10 oz.)
- 3/4 cup goat feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- Salt & pepper
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
Directions //
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- In a pan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Saute the onion & garlic in the butter until lightly browned, or about 7 minutes.
- Stir in mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, feta cheese, & cheddar cheese.
- Season with a dash of salt & pepper.
- Spoon mixture into both pie crusts equally.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs & milk. Season with a dash of salt & pepper.
- Pour the milk/egg mixture into the two pie crusts equally, allowing the milk/egg mixture to combine with the spinach mixture.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes. The quiches are done when they are set in the center.
- Allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Quiche keeps well in the fridge for at least a week, but if you're the type of person who really plans ahead, it also freezes well.
