Best Simple But Sensational Spinach And Feta Quiche Recipes

SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• Parbake the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a well-floured surface. Working from the center, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle, then transfer it to an ungreased 9″ pie dish. With a fork, pierce rows of holes in the bottom and sides of the dough, about 1 inch apart. Bake until the crust is lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Prepare the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and sauté for 5 minutes, until tender. Add the spinach and sauté for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• Spoon the spinach and leek mixture into the bottom of the crust, then sprinkle the feta over the top.
• Gently pour in the egg mixture.
• Bake the quiche for 45 to 55 minutes, until eggs are set in the center and puffed slightly and the crust is golden brown. Let the quiche cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

SIMPLE BUT SENSATIONAL SPINACH AND FETA QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line instant pie shell with a SINGLE layer of the Muenster cheese slices.
• Carefully press all of the water out of the spinach and place it in a large mixing bowl. If you prefer, you can use just half the amount of spinach called for in the recipe, we like a lot of spinach so we use the whole box.
• Whisk or blend the cream cheese until it is smooth and has no lumps, add eggs, Parmesan cheese (Note: if you use pre-grated parmesan you may get a gummy texture to the interior of your quiche because of the commercial non-clumping agents put into pre-grated cheese), salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste; stir well.
• Pour into pie shell and top with crumbled feta. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until feta is lightly golden. NOTE: If you are using a frozen shell, bake the quiche on a lower rack in the oven an add 10-15 minutes to the cooking time. Watch crust edges closely, and if they become too brown, cover edges with foil to finish baking. For quicker cooking, you may choose to blind bake the crust first.
• Allow quiche to set up for 10 minutes before serving.
