Category: Quiche and Savory Tarts / Tartlettes
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 recipe for pate brisee (pie crust

2 cups of fresh washed spinach leaves (not baby spinach), or 10 oz. frozen spinach, defrosted and liquid squeezed out.
1 onion, chopped
3 eggs
1/2 heavy cream
3/4 cup of shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese
salt & pepper
nutmeg
4 sundried tomatoes, sliced into thin strips

In a heavy skillet, cook the onion until translucent. Add the spinach (I use fresh) to the pan with the onion. Spinach will cook down and decrease in volume by a lot.
Season w/ salt and pepper.

Make the custard: Mix 3 eggs w/ the cream and cheese. Sprinkle a dash of nutmeg in the liquid.

When the onion spinach mixtures has cooled, add to the custard.

Roll out pastry dough to fit a 9 inch quiche pan (or 4 individual tart pans).

Some pastry dough requires pre-baking the shell for a few minutes with pie weights.
(I usually don't bother. I cook my quiches and tarts on a baking sheet, so none of the liquid seeps thru.)

Pour mixture into prepared shell and decorate the tops with the sundried tomato strips.

Bake at 375Ffor 35 minutes (25 minutes for individual tarts). Let quiche cool a few minutes in the pan before serving or removing. The quiches will puff up while baking, then deflate when cooled.
