Quiche: Veggies (And Sausage)

"I made this quiche by looking at a few different recipes and combining them. I also had some deer oberley sausage gifted from an aunt, but really any sausage would work. Or not at all, I probably would have had all veggies if that sausage hadn't been in the freezer. It's kind of a southwestern combination and I served it with a corn and black bean salad. Delicious! Although, it does take some time, but it's worth it! Crust from http://www.sophistimom.com/quiche-whole-wheat-crust/"

directions

  • Crust: "Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or two knives (You could also do this step in a food processor). Gently stir in 3-4 tablespoons (I used about 6) of ice water until mixture forms a ball. Form into a disk and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees (220 degrees Celsius). Roll out dough 1/4 inch thick with a rolling pin. Place in pie shell. Crimp edges if using a standard pie plate. If using a tart pan, trim edges by rolling a rolling pin over the top edge of the pan. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Cut a circle of parchment paper at least 3 inches larger in diameter than the pie pan, and place in the crust. Weight down with a pound of beans poured into the paper. Cook for 10 minutes. Remove beans and paper, and bake for 5 minutes more.".
  • Filling: Group 1- Finely chop onions and garlic.
  • Add onions to skillet on medium heat with olive oil. Saute until translucent.
  • Add meat and frozen spinach. Heat until spinach is almost thawed.
