COOK: our favorite quiche

I am far from the world's greatest cook.  I am a somewhat picky-eater and struggle to find quick easy meals that I can make quickly and easily after a long day at school.  This is one of mine and Harrison's absolute favorites: Mushroom and Spinach Quiche!


YOU WILL NEED:
8 oz. mushrooms (I prefer baby bella) 
1 clove of garlic, minced
10 oz. spinach (I use frozen)
4 large eggs
1 cup of milk
2 oz. feta
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
small pieces of bacon (optional) 
salt & pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). 
2. If using frozen spinach, squeeze the excess moisture from the thawed spinach.  Rinse mushrooms.  Mince garlic.
3. Add mushrooms, garlic, and a pinch of salt & pepper to a buttered pan.  Saute the mushrooms and garlic until soft and all moisture is gone.  
4. Coat a pie dish with non-stick spray.  Place the dried spinach in the bottom of the pie dish.  Place the sauteed mushrooms on top of the spinach.  Top with crumbled feta.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and parmesan.  Season lightly with pepper.  Pour egg mixture over the vegetables and feta.  Sprinkle small pieces of bacon, if you choose. Top with mozzarella.  
6. Bake on middle rack for 45 to 55 minutes or until golden brown. 

Enjoy :)
