Clinton's Special Vegetarian Quiche image

Spinach quiche baked in puff pastry. This is my own creation and is devoured every time it's served up. I hope you enjoy it, it's a little different but very tasty.

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Eggs

Time 1h40m

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 cup fresh spinach, cleaned and stemmed
4 tablespoons water
ΒΌ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
5 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a quiche dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Line the quiche dish with puff pastry, press the pastry firmly in place and trim away any excess pastry. Blind bake for 10 minutes.
  • In a large skillet place spinach and 4 tablespoons water. Heat the mixture over medium and cover the skillet. Cook until the spinach is done, approximately 2 minutes then drain well. Add nutmeg to the spinach and puree the mixture.
  • In a large skillet, saute the onion with butter or margarine to taste. Saute until the onions are soft and transparent.
  • In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat eggs. Stir in the cottage cheese, spinach, and 1/2 cup of cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange onions along the bottom of the pastry-lined quiche dish. Arrange the tomatoes over the onions. Pour the egg-mixture over the onions and tomatoes, and top entire concoction with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the quiche has set in the middle. Serve hot or cold, your choice!

This quiche was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it still came out perfect.

I had some trouble getting the quiche to set properly. I think I might have overcooked it a little bit.
