Spinach And Caramelized Onion Quiche Recipes

Steps:

• Place the pie crust in a deep dish pie pan. Whisk together eggs, milk, creme fraiche, salt and pepper.
• Place half the spinach leaves in a layer over the egg mixture, top with the feta, caramelized onions.
• Layer the remaining spinach on top and press down to get as much egg over top as possible.
• Bake for 25 minutes at 350 (make sure your oven is preheated). Check at that point for firmness. If it needs another 5 minutes put it back in.
• You may need to cover the crust i half way through so it doesn't darken too much.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• With a little canola oil in a frying pan over medium high heat caramelize the onions, stirring occasionally. This takes about 15-20 minutes.
• Squeeze the moisture out of the thawed spinach by wrapping it in a dish towel and squeezing.
• Beat the eggs and add the milk and whisk well.
• Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper and a few grinds of fresh nutmeg.
• Spray or wipe oil all over a deep pie dish.
• When the onions are well caramelized, place evenly over bottom of pie dish then evenly spread the spinach over the onions and follow up with the cheese.
• Pour the egg mixture over the top and pop into the oven.
• Bake until firm in the middle, about 40-45 minutes.
• Serve with fresh fruit and popovers hot from the oven!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• 2. Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and flute the edges. If desired, brush the edges of the crust with a bit of half-and-half or an egg wash.
• 3. Caramelize the onions in the butter. This means cook slowly on low heat until they are a beautiful golden brown. If you're not using a sweet onion, add a pinch of sugar. Remove to a ramekin. Sauté the mushrooms with thyme in the same pan until all the liquid cooks off. Season with salt and black pepper and let cool.
• 4. In a 4 cup measuring cup, whisk together the eggs and half-and-half in a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in most of the cheddar cheese.
• 5. Place the slices of Swiss cheese in the base of the pie crust. Next layer the baby spinach then the mushrooms. Using tongs drop caramelized onions on top of spinach and mushrooms. Pour egg mixture into pie and stir to distribute evenly. Sprinkle more grated cheddar on top if you have any left.
• 6. Bake the quiche for about 50-60 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean from the center. Check the quiche around 35-40 minutes and if the crust is starting to brown too quickly, cover (just the crust or parts of it) with aluminum foil to protect it. Using a glass pan prevents this from happening. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve warm! A salad and a nice Pinot Grigio pairs beautifully!
