Easy Brunch Idea

Are you looking for an impressive yet easy brunch idea? Or a lite summer lunch or dinner recipe? This easy Spinach and Feta Quiche fits the bill! Full of fresh spinach and tangy feta cheese, it’s a slice of summer at your dinner table.

I really love to make quiche a part of my “easy meal” routines. If you have a bit of extra time, throw a Quiche into the oven and get some housework done, help with homework, or catch up on a work project while it cooks.

You can also bake a couple on the weekend and store them in the fridge for a quick dinner later in the week.

Note: If you heat them up by the slice, they reheat MUCH more quickly than attempting to reheat an entire pie.

What You’ll Need to Make a Spinach and Feta Quiche

• 1deep dish pie shell – 9 inch
• 3cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2small onion, diced
• 2 cups fresh spinach chopped and loosely packed (substitute10 ozpackage frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry if fresh is unavailable)
• 4eggs
• 1/2 cupmilk
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cupshredded swiss cheese or mozzarella cheese
• 4 ozfeta cheese
• 1 tbspolive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

A note on Feta Cheese: Fresh Feta that is stored in brine is on a completely different level than the dry mixture you typically find in the cheese section of your grocery store. It’s creamy with just the right level of saltiness – and you can break it up into chunks or crumble it.

It’s typically found in the specialty cheese section at the grocery store and Trader Joe’s has a Greek and Israeli version. If you can find it, buy it! It is REALLY that much better than the crumbles.

How to Make the Spinach and Feta Quiche

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
