Spinach Quiche Recipe

Spinach Quiche

1/2 cup butter
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (4.5 ounce) can mushrooms, drained
1 (6 ounce) package herb and garlic feta, crumbled
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Saute garlic and onion in butter until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in spinach, mushrooms, feta and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into pie crust.
3 In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into the pastry shell, allowing egg mixture to thoroughly combine with spinach mixture.
4 Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle top with remaining Cheddar cheese, and bake an additional 35 to 40 minutes, until set in center. Allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.

My recipe is similar but my method different.
In 4 T butter, saute
4 T finely chopped onion and
2 tsp chopped garlic
And 4 oz fresh mushrooms finely chopped.
While the veggies are sauteeing, drain and squeeze dry a 10 oz bag of frozen chopped spinach....chop the spinach further on a board....and add to the sauteeing veggies.
Turn off the heat and stir to combine and add 3 oz of cream cheese, cubed and stir until mixed.
Place the spinach mix into the pie crust and add 2 cups of shredded cheese....the better the cheese the better the quiche. I use Cabot aged white chedder and aged Swiss cheese.
Beat together 4 eggs and a cup of milk with a tsp of worchestershire and 1/4 tsp nutmeg. Pour over the cheese in the pie shell, dust the top with crumbled dry parsley and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Thanks all-my grandson will be coming home from Iraq soon and has asked for vege soup, potato salad, and of all things, this spinach quiche. No desserts, which surprises me.

Linda,
I saw an old posting with your spinach quiche recipe. It looks so good. I was thinking about adding proscuitto (sp) and maybe red or green bell pepper to the recipe. Should I saute this with the onion and garlic? And do you think this would be adding too many ingredients to the recipe? Also, is this for a 9" deep dish or regular crust, and do you do anything to keep the crust from getting soggy, or does it work well with a raw crust?

Thanks for your help. I am planning to make this for a friend's birthday next week. I appreciate your response.
