This is a tasty quiche that combines frozen spinach, feta, and Romano cheeses into a beautiful dish that you will be proud to serve. The hint of nutmeg gives it that authentic Greek touch. Ingredients:
pastry dough, for a 9-inch, one-crust pie |
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach |
1 cup milk (recommended -- low fat or 2%) |
1 cup crumbled feta cheese |
3 eggs, beaten |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted |
2 tablespoons grated romano cheese |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon white pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 dash ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Line a 9-inch quiche or pie dish with pastry; trim excess pastry around edges (you can decorate the edges with fluting or crimping or anything you want). Prick bottom and sides of pastry with a fork. Bake at 400 degrees F for 3 minutes; remove from oven, and prick with a fork. Bake for 5 more minutes.
2. Cook spinach according to package directions, omitting salt. Drain spinach thoroughly, pressing out excess water.
3. Combine spinach and remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl; mix well.
4. Pour mixture into prepared pastry shell. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes, or until center is set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
