Spinach Quiche

Went to Meghan's wedding shower last weekend, and had this super amazing quiche - so I got the recipe from Luke's aunt and figured I would have to try it!!  AND since we had a GIRLS ONLY sleepover last night - figured nothing would help us out better than lovely quiche when we woke up.  It's SUPER good -- it has a little kick with the Italian sausage.  You wouldn't have to put the meat in it, but I thought that was the best part....and next time I want to try mushrooms!!  ENJOY!!

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

Butter

1 large shallot – chopped (or green onion)

1 large onion, chopped

2 tablespoon oil

10oz package frozen spinach, thawed

5 eggs

¾ lb grated Muenster cheese

¼ teaspoon cayenne

Salt and pepper

Italian sausage (pre cooked)

Preheat oven to 350.  Butter a 9” pie plate.  Sauté shallot / onion in oil until soft (5-10 min).  Squeeze spinach dry.  Add to onions – cook until all moisture evaporates – and cool.

In a bowl, beat eggs.  Add cheese and cayenne.  Stir into onion/spinach mixture – then add precooked sausage.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Turn into pie plate – spreading evenly.

Bake at 350 for 40-45 min or until top is nicely browned and quiche is firm.
