A week's worth of eggs and greens greeted me when I returned home this past weekend. It also happened that we were responsible for preparing an apple pie for the Thanksgiving celebration in Junior Chef #2's class. That meant there was pie dough to spare. Time for quiche!
The Method
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Saute chopped onions in a few TBs of butter.
- Add 5-6 C arugula, roughly chopped.
- Sprinkle with garlic powder (No, I still haven't bought fresh garlic.)
- Add a few leaves of lemon basil, lightly chopped.
- Add a few TBs of water to generate sufficient steam to wilt the arugula.
- Line an ungreased quiche pan with pie crust.
- Cover the bottom of the crust with grated cheese. I used a mixture of pepper jack, sharp cheddar in one quiche and only swiss in the other.
- Once the greens are tender, layer over the cheese.
- We added whole grape tomatoes to the blended cheese quiche.
- Beat 4 eggs with 1 1/2 C skim milk.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour over the greens.
- Bake 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
This is such a simple and delicious dish. It takes only a few minutes, and is wonderful for any meal. The arugula held up nicely. It would have been even better with a whole wheat crust. Next time.
