Place pie weights or dried beans over top of the paper and spread evenly over the bottom of the shell, making sure to get all the way to the edges, corners, and sides. Place in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Once finished, remove and let cool until the quiche mixture is ready. Remove the pie weights once cooled down a bit.
• In a large skillet, add in 1 tablespoon of butter and the onion, thinly sliced.
• Turn on medium low and cook for 30 minutes, stirring often. Over the next 30 minutes, the onions will turn a caramel color. Make sure to keep an eye on them and do not turn the heat up. This can be done while the crust is blind baking.
• With about 5 minutes left, add in the spinach and another 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Cook until the spinach has wilted then remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, add 8 eggs and beat with a fork until the yolks are broken.
• Add in the milk, salt, red pepper flakes, white pepper, and shredded swiss cheese. Mix well.
• Add in the caramelized onions and spinach. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
