simple popeye spinach quiche
a few of you asked for the quiche recipe i served on saturday. am more than happy to concede. especially since i documented it pioneer woman style. (plus, my big brother even wants the recipe, so anna, i hope you're paying attention. i know you're the cook of the house!) here goes, a super simple spinach quiche.
after thawing the frozen chopped spinach, which i allow to sit in the fridge for a few days prior (nothing makes you more blue than building a spinach quiche with a frozen brick of green) begin your pop-eye project. drain the spinach in a colander and then let it chill on paper towels. beat the eggs and add the other ingredients. keep your scissors handy, you'll be opening a lot of packaged goods. blend together and watch your little green swamp whirl around. meanwhile take sips of vitamin water. cookin' is a serious job.

10 oz. pkg. Frozen Spinach (let thaw in fridge for a day)
5 Eggs, beaten well
8 oz. carton small curd Cottage Cheese
2 cups grated combination Cheddar and Monterey Jack Cheeses

1/8 tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground Black Pepper
9 inch deep dish unbaked pie shell (in the frozen foods aisle)
Preheat oven to 375°. Drain thawed spinach in colander, pressing with paper towels to remove all liquid. In large bowl of mixer, combine eggs, cottage cheese, spinach, 2 cups grated cheese, onion, salt, and pepper. Beat to blend and pour into unbaked pie shell. (At this point, quiche can be refrigerated overnight.) Bake 50-60 minutes. Let sit 5-10 minutes before cutting. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Mmmm, thanks. I know what I'm having for dinner tomorrow!
Quiche is one of my favorite, easiest, fancy-looking brunch staple. Thanks for a new one!
Yum! There was an article in Bon Appetit a few years ago about French women and their amazing hostess skills. Their secret - using an effective combination of made from scratch & store bought ingredients.

Yummy! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to try it!
Okay, this looks amazing, i will be making it soon for sure!
btw, it turned out yummy.
I havent made quiche before, I might have to give it a try.
I am making this tonight! What a great recipe!
I did make this tonight Marta! I am not a cook and so I get a little nervous about a new recipe, but this was so simple and it was amazingly tasty! You should write a cookbook! (I always like the recipes you choose. The crockpot ones look pretty simple and yummy too. So, I'm going to buy a crock pot and try those.) My daughter asked for seconds (I don't think that has ever happened before.) My mom & sister then came over and they finished it off. I was so pleased I had something nice to feed them. Hooray! You made my day!
I'm used to making quiche but it's the first time I make one with cottage cheese. It is so good it has instantly become a classic in this household! Thanks!
Nice share
