Instructions
- If using a crust, spray tart pan with non-stick spray, then fit in the crust. Prick crust with a fork, then prebake for about 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees until just beginning to brown.
- Layer torn spinach on top of crust (or on bottom of greased pan if not using a crust). Top spinach with chopped onions and cheese. Sprinkle with dried or fresh thyme leaves.
- Beat eggs and milk with salt and pepper. Pour over filling ingredients.
- Slice mini peppers crosswise into 1/2 inch slices—or chop bell peppers if using those instead. Either way, remove the seeds! Distribute evenly on top of quiche.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes until slightly golden and puffy and knife inserted off center comes out clean. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve or cold (store in refrigerator if not eating right away)
Notes
- This should work in a home-sized deep dish pie as well. A commercial shallow frozen pie crust uses approximately half of the filling and a commercial frozen deep dish about 3/4.
