For you, my quiche.


Ingredients:

For Crust 2 cups of all purpose flour (or whatever flour you desire), 3/4 tablespoon of salt, and 12 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter cut into 10 pieces)

For Filling 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of heavy cream or half an half, 3 large eggs, 1 cup of grated medium or sharp cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1 cup of frozen minced spinach thawed, half a tomato cut into small minced pieces, salt and pepper to taste.

Directions for crust: Mix the salt and flour together, add it to the food processor along with the butter. Pulse it until butter pieces are the size of peas. Add 3 tablespoons of cold water, and pulse until moist dough forms. Put the crumbs on plastic wrap and form the dough into a circle with your palm. Wrap the dough tightly, and refrigerate it for one hour.

After an hour, if the dough is still crumbly, just take each piece at a time and form it on the pan. If it doesn't crumble, carefully set it on the pan, and then form it. Bake the crust in the oven for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Poke holes on the crust to let air out, and bake it for an additional 10 minutes. Then side aside while making filling.

Mix all the ingredients together for the filling except the spinach, tomatoes, and cheeses. Add the cheeses to the pan with the crust, then the spinach and tomatoes, then pour the egg mixture in. Bake it in the oven for 35 minutes at 350 degree. Once it's done, cool it on a wire rack for ten minutes.

ENJOY!
