Spinach Quiche

"Quiche is quick to make, and makes a healthy breakfast for children and adults. Make it ahead of time, cut it into single serving pieces, wrap the individual pieces in foil or plastic wrap and freeze them. In the morning just defrost and reheat in the microwave. Simple and very tasty." - Cheryl Tallman.

Recipe Ingredients:

3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 (10-ounce) package of frozen chopped spinach, squeezed dry
4 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half or milk
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 (9-inch) prepared pie crust*

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Sprinkle spinach and onion in prepared pie crust. Toss cheese with flour and sprinkle in the pie crust.
3. In a large bowl gently whisk together eggs, half-and-half (or milk), salt and ground black pepper. Pour this mixture over all of the other ingredients in the pie crust.
4. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until knife inserted in middle comes out clean. Let stand 10 to 12 minutes before serving. If you are cutting it into single servings and freezing it, let the quiche cool completely.
