Rustic Spinach and Feta Quiche Pie.

Rustic Spinach and Feta Quiche Pie.

A beautiful rustic Quiche

Quiche is a savory, open faced pie crust with a savory filling.  I have made this look a bit rustic by keeping the crust jagged and not perfectly crimped. Fillings can range from all kinds of mixtures including eggs  ( I used egg whites) as the base and adding vegetables, fish or meat.  Leftovers can be easily used in this dish and no one will no the better!

1 tablespoon Olive Oil

1/2 Onion minced

½ red pepper chopped

1 large garlic clove grated

1 bag spinach

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

1 cup egg whites / substitute

1 pre-made pie crust dough

Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

Place pie dough in a pie dish that has been sprayed with PAM.  Crunch down the side and slightly roll down the dough to make an edge. Making it uneven gives it a rustic look.

Saute the onion, pepper and garlic in the olive oil for about 4 minutes until the onion is translucent.      Add spinach and saute until wilted.  Cool.  Add egg substitute, dill, feta cheese.

Salt and pepper to taste. (remember that some feta cheese is more salty than others).  Mix well and place in prepared crust. Pull the crust up the sides a bit more.

Bake at 375 for 35 minutes.

 TIPS:

Quiche can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner
This can be wrapped and frozen.

Is great as a snack as well!
You can make many varieties of quiche by just adding to the basic egg mixture different vegetables, cheese, meat and even fish such as salmon.  ......   Be creative
