Spinach Quiche

OR PIE! You say tomato I say tomahto! Whatever you want to call it, it’s still one of the best and quickest dishes out there.

When I have a few things left over in smaller batches, I almost always blend them together and make a savory pie – meat, spinach, chicken, veggie, etc… add a few eggs, make a crust, and voila!

After making the Stuffed Cannelloni the other day, I was left with a couple of cups of spinach and a bit of crumbled feta. I was also running low on whipping cream and the eggs were two days from expiration. Since I can’t bear to throw away food, I had to use them up.

As I was going through my Google Reader, I saw a recipe for a Spinach Quiche over at Thyme In Our Kitchen and I was ready to go.

I served it with my homemade yogurt and the flan dish was emptied within minutes. I had none because I am still Fasting – few more days to go. On January 7th (Eastern Orthodox Christmas) I will eat like I’ve never seen food before.

Also looking forward to having our Spinach and BACON Quiche, again, real soon!

ENJOY!

  17. Do you really say tomahto? Because I’m guessing that was pooetic license you were using, but I can’t tell inflection over the internet, and really, I’ve never met anyone who says tomahto! It ruins the whole basis for the song, you know? Same with potahto. I mean, I suppose it’s enough that everyone understands what it means, but to a literalist, well, I’ve just got some issues with that song.
    But I have no issues with this pie. Wow; that is a genius use of leftovers, by all means.

    • hehehe I don’t say tomahto 🙂 I had an English professor in college, he was 73 years old, he said tomahto, potahto, and ab-dough-men for abdomen. 🙂 Apart from him, no, I’ve never met anyone else that talks that way.

      I’m glad you like my pie!

  18. I’m a great fan of spinach and ricotta cannelloni, as well as Greek spanakopita (?) so I’d be sure to love this. Thanks for the recipe!

  29. This looks great! I’m like you … I HATE throwing away food … so getting creative is a must when you have leftover ingredients from a dish you’ve made. I love this quiche idea! AND I can’t WAIT to see your recipes from your Eastern Orthodox Christmas. I spent Christmas with an old friend from Serbia a few years back and had some of the best food of my life! 😀
