Quick Quiche

Like most moms, I don't have a few hours everyday to make dinner.  Sometimes I try to make a few in one day.  Last night was quiet.  The math tutor came, my kids did not have baseball or softball.  The only thing on my calendar was to pick up my 8th grader at 9:30 from the middle school.  Score!  I made an easy shrimp, spinach and pasta dish for that night then began making a quiche for the following night.  With a birthday party for my youngest and sports for the boys, I knew I needed to be prepared.

So I made a quiche, always easy and a crowd pleaser in my house.  You can serve it with a simple salad for a fast and yummy meal

Here is what I used:

1               prepared pie crust

8               eggs 

1/2 cup     half and half

1/2 cup     baby spinach

1               small tomato sliced

Just before putting it in the oven.

2 cloves    garlic

1/3 cup     shredded cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Sautee garlic and baby spinach on medium heat until spinach is wilted

3. beat eggs and half and half until frothy

4. Place spinach loosely on bottom of pie crust, separating as much as possible

5.  Pour egg mixture into pie crust slowly

6.  Spred tomato slices over spinach

7. Top with cheddar cheese

8.  Bake in oven for 40 minutes or until to is browned

9.  Let cool before serving
