SAUSAGE AND SPINACH QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Roll out pie dough to about ¼" thick and press into a 9" pie plate. If using a premade pie crust, remove it from the refrigerator about an hour before you make your quiche so that it warms up to room temperature. Roll out the pie crust as directed on the packaging and arrange in a 9" pie plate.
• Place in the freezer for a few minutes, just until it is no longer super soft, then pull out and line the inside with aluminum foil. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully remove the foil and set aside.
• In a saute pan over medium-high heat, cook sliced sausage until golden brown, then drain on a paper towel. Add the sausage evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
• Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the sausage, then add the spinach.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, mustard, and cayenne. Mix until well combined, then pour over the sausage and spinach mixture. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake the quiche in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set in the middle. You can test by gently shaking the pan just a little to see if the middle of the quiche is still runny. If you still aren't sure, insert a toothpick or knife into the center and it should come out clean.
• Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

SAUSAGE AND SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• Cook sausage till browned, breaking it up as you go, drain on paper towels and set aside.
• Thaw spinach in microwave or if you are cooking fresh you will need almost double. I like the finely chopped that is in a box for 1.00.
• Get out your pie crusts and line the bottoms with half the spinach, and sausage each.
• In a larger bowl combine all of the cheese but a handful, the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper.
• Pour half of the mixture into each shell and sprinkle the remaining handful of cheese over both.
• Bake at 350 about 40-45 minutes. You can do a toothpick test, try not to overbake, your eggs won't be as fluffy.
• if your pie crusts are browning too fast you can cover them in foil just not the whole pie, you want a pretty light golden top and the air to make it rise.
• Serve warm. You can make the pies the night before and bake in the morning or they do reheat well. If you are freezing let it cool completely then portion out and wrap each slice individually or wrap the whole thing and freeze.

SPINACH AND FETA QUICHE

Steps:

• To make the pastry, in a bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender, cut it in until the mixture resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl, using a fork, beat the egg with 2 Tbs. of the ice water. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture and 2 more Tbs. ice water. Using the fork, mix lightly, adding more ice water as needed until the mixture holds together. Pat into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• On a floured pastry board or other work surface, roll out the pastry into a round about 13 inches in diameter. Transfer to an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, turn under the edges to make them flush with the pan rim, and prick the bottom in several places with a fork. Press a piece of aluminum foil, shiny side down, onto the crust, and freeze for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 425°F
• Bake the foil-lined pastry shell for 8 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the crust looks dull, about 4 minutes more. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the Swiss cheese, and reduce the oven temperature to 375°F
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Drain the spinach and squeeze dry. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the yellow and green onions and garlic and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the spinach and sauté, stirring, until completely wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the dill and pepper and continue sautéing for about 2 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasonings; the mixture should taste peppery. Let cool for 5 to 6 minutes.
• In a pitcher or bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, then whisk in the half-and-half and cream. Crumble the feta cheese into the spinach and stir in the egg mixture. Pour into the prebaked shell.
• Bake until the filling is puffed and light brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with the olives and serve.
• Serves 6.
