For a few years now I've been benefiting from all of you who have taken the time to post your favorite recipes, so I think it's time for me to pass on the favor. Here's my recipe for spinach quiche, and quite frankly, I've never had a quiche that comes close to this, even in some pretty great restaurants. I hope those of you that give it a try agree!
David's Favorite Spinach Quiche
3 TBS butter
1 large onion, diced
1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/2 tsp. dried tarragon
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese (cheddar is a good inexpensive alternative)
1 (9 inch) pie crust
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large frying pan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until barely tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add drained spinach and cook until moisture evaporates, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat eggs lightly. Mix in milk, thyme, tarragon, salt, pepper, and cheese. Add cooked spinach mixture to egg mixture and stir to blend. Pour filling into pie crust.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until quiche is puffy and golden. Serve warm. (With a nice glass of wine!
