Quiche

Ham/Spinach/Onion Quiche

Spinach Quiche

Ingredients:
1 frozen pie crust (or your own if you prefer)
2/3 C ham, cubed
9 oz pkg of frozen spinach (no sauce)
1/4 onion, sliced thin
1 tbsp butter/oleo
5 eggs
1/2 C heavy cream
pepper
2/3 C cheese (cubed, crumbled or shredded) Feta & sharp cheddar
1/2 C med cheddar, grated (for topping)
Paprika

To Prepare: Oven to 375. Cook the spinach according to directions and drain thoroughly-set aside. In a skillet, quickly brown the ham cubes, turn down the heat and add the oleo and onion. Cook until the onion is golden brown – approximately 3 minutes. Remove from heat. In a bowl, mix your eggs, cream and pepper (to taste). Mix together the ham, onion, spinach, cubed cheeses lightly and put in the prepared pie shell. Pour the egg mix over – should cover in the ingredients. Top with the additional grated cheddar cheese. Place in oven on a cookie sheet and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Test the center with a toothpick – like a cake it should come out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Variations of Quiche are really endless. Imagine a wonderful combination of tastes…
think canadian bacon, onion and havarti/cheddar.
Or perhaps a seafood quiche – crab, asparagus, cream cheese and pepper jack -
Or shrimp, peppers, green onion w/queso fresco and cheddar -
Or bacon, spinach, mushroom, feta and sweet peppers.
Or smoked salmon, red onion, dilled havarti, colby jack …… you get the idea.
I have even read a french recipe or quiche with tomato, anchovies and olives!
This recipe is just a base – Dream on….
I look forward to hearing what combination you like best
