Torta Rustica (Spinach , Tomato & Cheese Quiche) image

This is an Italian holiday classic, but it's one that I will make all year. The sun-dried tomatoes supply a tangy sensation that complements the milder flavors of the quiche very well.

This torta rustica was a bit dry. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some additional sauce or gravy.

The crust on this torta rustica was a bit too thick for my taste. I would have preferred a thinner, more flaky crust.
