Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and set a rack in the middle position. Remove the pie crust from freezer and thaw until just soft enough to easily prick with a fork, about 10 minutes. Prick the bottom and sides all over with a fork (pricking about an inch apart). Bake until fully cooked and lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes. (Keep an eye on it...if it puffs up while cooking, gently prick it with a fork so it will deflate.) Don't worry if the crust cracks while baking; see my note below on how to fix it before proceeding. Set aside and turn oven down to 325°F.
- Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the shallots until soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Do not brown. Set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt and cayenne pepper.
- Place the cooked pie crust on a baking sheet (this makes it easy to move in and out of oven). Spread the shallots over the bottom of the cooked crust, then sprinkle the shredded Gruyere over top. Scatter the spinach evenly over cheese, breaking up the clumps as best you can. Pour the egg and cream mixture over top.
- Bake at 325°F degrees for 50 to 55 minutes until the custard is set and top is lightly golden. Serve hot or warm.
- Note: I usually defrost the frozen spinach quickly by placing it in a fine mesh strainer and running hot water over it. I then gather the spinach into a ball and squeeze it dry. It takes a few minutes of squeezing and re-squeezing to get all the water out. Be patient...you need the spinach completely dry, otherwise your quiche will be watery.
- Note: Don't panic if your crust cracks -- you can easily fix it. Make a smooth paste by mixing 1 tablespoon of flour with 1 tablespoon of water. Use your fingers to patch up and fill any cracks, then place the crust back in the oven for a minute or so to set. It should be good as new.
- Make ahead: This quiche can be made up to a day ahead of time and refrigerated. To reheat: Cover the quiche with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated 300°F oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until hot in the center.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooked quiche can be frozen for up to 3 months. Remove the quiche from the freezer about 24 hours prior to eating and reheat it, covered with foil, in a 300°F oven until hot in the center.

Steps:
- Stack the spinach leaves one on top of another and cut into 1-inch slices. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and, when hot, add the onions and scallions and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the vegetables are softened but not brown. Add the garlic, stir well, then add the spinach. Saute, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until the spinach wilts but is still bright green. Set aside to cool.
- Place the chicken livers in the bowl of a food processor and process for about 10 seconds, until pureed. Add the ground beef and pork, and process 5 to 10 seconds, just until mixed. Set aside.
- When the spinach mixture is cool, mix well with the meat and add the salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease a roasting pan with the vegetable oil. Wet your hands under cold water and form large spoonfuls of the meat-vegetable mixture into 12 equal-size patties. Arrange the patties close together in the roasting pan and place in the oven for 25 minutes. Serve two cayettes per person.
