Quick Quiche

The Mrs tasked me with a request:  find a dish we can put in the oven for an hour and go to the gym really quickly.  I scoured FoodNetwork.com to find a recipe that didn't require a lot of prep time, but did require a lot of time in the oven.  So the name "quick quiche" really refers to how little time it takes to prep.

I did deviate one step, though.  I bought a frozen pie crust that suggested I bake it first before filling it.  I took out the crust and poked holes in the bottom and sides before putting it in the oven for around 12-14 minutes until it became a light brown color.

Next came the assembling of the filling while the crust cools a little.  Take 4 eggs, 1/2 cup of mayo, 1 cup of half-and-half, and 2 tbsp of flour and whisk them together in a large mixing bowl.  Then add 1 package of frozen spinach (thawed & drained), along with 1/3 cup of diced onion, and 8 oz of Swiss and/or Cheddar cheese, and salt & garlic salt to taste.  Stir everything together and fill your crust.

I put a thin strip of aluminum foil around the edge of the pie crust so it wouldn't burn.  Then bake it off for close to an hour at 350-degrees.  Here's what you will be looking at:

Let it rest a few minutes to cool and settle, then slice.  I topped mine with a little sliced cherry tomatoes to add a little acidity to contract the richness of this dish.  It's a good thing are gym-going folks, because this is a rich dish.  But it is delicious.  Occasionally it's alright to splurge and indulge yourself.

Yuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
