Directions
Ricotta-spinach-mushroom Quiche, This is really nice for a healthy, meatless meal Use whatever crust you’d like homemade or store-bought I usually serve a salad or soup with this quiche , We enjoyed this quiche and I’ll make again used my 2-pc 10-inch tart pan with a Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust, and it made a beautiful quiche, with just the right amount of filling I substituted fat-free cream for the milk, added salt, and increased the tarragon for a bit more flavor The creamy ricotta cheese give the quiche a nice mild flavor and texture, blending well with the spinach , Sorry but even though we were hungry, this was flavourless & inedible I read all the reviews & added 1 extra egg, baked at 350 F for 1 hour, which made it set nicely I loosely covered the crust (without pricking), using a double layer of thick foil I then pre-baked the crust on the lowest rack at 450 F for 8 minutes, scrunched foil around edges & baked another 5 minutes before filling, which made a perfectly flaky crust I added 1 tsp salt (should have been 1 & 1/2 tsp ) & used 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper in filling I substituted fresh spinach for 1/2 of a 10oz package of frozen spinach (defrosted & squeezed) I also substituted yellow onion which is stronger than green onion & increased the amount to 1/2 cup I followed the rest of the recipe as written We love spinach but even with my additions, this was way too much spinach for so little spice & such a bland cheese As others mentioned, I also had enough filling leftover for another 9 deep dish pie shell Next time, I will try increasing spices, add swiss cheese, sauteed mushrooms & decrease spinach
