SPINACH QUICHE

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.

SAUSAGE AND SPINACH QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Roll out pie dough to about ¼" thick and press into a 9" pie plate. If using a premade pie crust, remove it from the refrigerator about an hour before you make your quiche so that it warms up to room temperature. Roll out the pie crust as directed on the packaging and arrange in a 9" pie plate.
• Place in the freezer for a few minutes, just until it is no longer super soft, then pull out and line the inside with aluminum foil. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully remove the foil and set aside.
• In a saute pan over medium-high heat, cook sliced sausage until golden brown, then drain on a paper towel. Add the sausage evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
• Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the sausage, then add the spinach.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, mustard, and cayenne. Mix until well combined, then pour over the sausage and spinach mixture. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake the quiche in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set in the middle. You can test by gently shaking the pan just a little to see if the middle of the quiche is still runny. If you still aren't sure, insert a toothpick or knife into the center and it should come out clean.
• Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

CARAMELIZED ONION AND SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add in flour, salt, cold butter and lard.
• Using a pastry cutter, cut butter and lard into the flour until mixture resembles small pea size shapes.
• Fill a large glass with water and ice. Using a tablespoon measure, spoon in 5 tablespoons of the ice water into the flour and butter mixture. Using a fork or spatula, mix well. You may need to add in more water if still floury and needed. You want the dough to just begin to come together. Do not add too much water.
• Sprinkle flour out onto the counter and spoon out dough on top. Roll around flour so that all sides are covered and bring together into a ball shape. Split dough in half making 2 pie dough balls. This recipe makes 2 pie shells.
• Roll out one half with a rolling pin in a circle until it is larger than your pie plate.
• Gently pick up the crust and place into the plate plate. Make sure it get the dough to lay evenly all the way to the edges. Crimp your edges with your fingers, cutting off any excess if needed.
• Once your pie crust is in the pie plate, place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper over the top, larger than the actual pie plate. Place pie weights or dried beans over top of the paper and spread evenly over the bottom of the shell, making sure to get all the way to the edges, corners, and sides. Place in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Once finished, remove and let cool until the quiche mixture is ready. Remove the pie weights once cooled down a bit.
• In a large skillet, add in 1 tablespoon of butter and the onion, thinly sliced.
• Turn on medium low and cook for 30 minutes, stirring often. Over the next 30 minutes, the onions will turn a caramel color. Make sure to keep an eye on them and do not turn the heat up. This can be done while the crust is blind baking.
• With about 5 minutes left, add in the spinach and another 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Cook until the spinach has wilted then remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, add 8 eggs and beat with a fork until the yolks are broken.
• Add in the milk, salt, red pepper flakes, white pepper, and shredded swiss cheese. Mix well.
• Add in the caramelized onions and spinach. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
• Pour carefully into the blind-baked pie crust and place into the oven to bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until the middle is set and doesn't jiggle anymore.

MUSHROOM, SPINACH AND SWISS CHEESE QUICHE
