I thought I would share my recipe for the Spinach and Cheese quiche I made for Tobey's birthday breakfast.

Spinach & Cheese Quiche

1 pie crust in a 9 inch pie plate
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup Gruyere cheese - grated
Handful of french spinach - chopped
1/2 onion sauteed in a tablespoon of butter
Salt and Pepper to taste

Beat the eggs and milk until smooth. Add in remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Pour into pie shell and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.

My poor little oven is on it's last legs here and I had to bake mine a bit longer. You want to make sure the pie is firm and the eggs are barely starting to brown around the edges. Also I am going to make a few pie crusts and store them in the fridge so I can easily whip this quiche up for breakfast. I am going to sub out the cheese as well as my grater and a few socks from the dryer have apparently run off together. It is always the socks I tell ya. Ya can't trust them.

Because Barbie has moved back in and has laid claim to the office off the kitchen as her 'bedroom' I was unable to get the food processor out to grate my cheese for Tobey's birthday. And since I couldn't find the manual grater ingenuity had to kick in quickly. So I took the blade from the food processor and used that to grate the cheese up. And yes: it took forever!!

Memo to me: buy a new grater this weekend.

So go on and make this quiche. It is super simple to throw together and even if you buy a frozen pie crust it will turn out great and I won't tattle on ya! Let me know if your family loves it as much as mine did.
