Elliott Family Cookbook: Cowboy Quiche

Elliott Family Cookbook: Cowboy Quiche

Cowboy Quiche

COWBOY QUICHE

This  is a great way to serve a crowd of folks in the morning.  I used filo dough instead of a regular pie crust, because it was what I had on hand.  I layered the sheets of dough with melted butter, alternating sheets so that it covered my baking dish.

I also used frozen spinach, drained, instead of fresh as well as substituting panchetta and bacon, because it was what I had on hand.  A great way to get your protein and veggies all in one.



Cowboy Quiche

1 pie crust
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1 lb. sausage
1 shallot, minced
1 cup loosely packed spinach leaves, torn
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1/3 cup mayo
2 Tbs.  all-puropose flour
1 cup shredded cheese


Preheat oven to 325F.  Shape pie crust to fit into a quiche dish; set aside.  Cook sausage, bell pepper and shallots.  Add spinach to cooked vegetables and sausage, cook until wilted.  Mix remaining ingredients in well then transfer to the pie crust.  Beat eggs well and then pour over sausage mix.  Bake for 35 min.

Serve warm and enjoy!
