SWISS CHEESE AND SPINACH QUICHE



Swiss Cheese and Spinach Quiche image

One of our favorite quiches. From a local hospital cookbook my mom gave me. We omit the salt as the cheese adds enough salt for us. *Note: Make sure the pie crust is a deep dish! We have made this using a regular one before with messy results!

SPINACH AND SWISS QUICHE



SPINACH AND SWISS QUICHE image

Categories     Cheese     Egg     Vegetable     Brunch     Bake     Pastry

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 9-inch deep-dish pie pastry
One 10 oz. package frozen chopped spinach
One 8 oz. package Swiss Cheese
2 tbsp AP flour
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup whipping cream (heavy is ok)
0.5 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper to taste
"Optional"
cooked bacon crumbles. A half package of bacon works well.

Steps:

  • Thaw and blind bake the pie crust according to package directions while assembling your other ingredients. Don't forget to prick the pastry with a fork, and use some old dry beans or pie weights if you have them. Adjust oven to 350 F after you blind bake your crust. Thaw/cook your spinach and drain well. Cut cheese into half-inch strips, then toss with the flour and set aside. In a large bowl, combine eggs, whipping cream, salt and pepper, beating well. Stir in spinach and cheese (and bacon). Pour mix into the blind-baked pastry shell. Bake at 350 F for one hour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw and squeeze out all of the excess water before using.
  • Use a large skillet to cook the spinach. This will help to prevent it from steaming and becoming mushy.
  • Add the spinach to the quiche mixture just before baking. This will help to prevent it from overcooking.
  • Use a preheated oven to bake the quiche. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help to set the filling and make it easier to slice.
