Spinach quiche, or quiche Florentine, is a wonderful vegetarian quiche recipe.

The spinach, cream, cheese and onion combination is wonderful and may actually get a non-spinach eater to the table.

Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
9" partially baked pie shell
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
2 packages frozen spinach, cooked, drained and chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/4 cup heavy cream
4 eggs, lightly beaten<br>

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté onions until tender.

In bowl combine spinach, onions, salt, pepper, nutmeg and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Beat cream and eggs together and combine with the spinach mixture. Pour into the pie shell, and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 30 minutes.

• Try brushing Dijon mustard (or a mustard of your own preference) on the bottom of the pie shell before putting the filling in. It adds extra flavor.

Makes one quiche, 6 servings.
