Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 9 inch unbaked deep-dish pie crust

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 cups frozen hash brown potatoes

with peppers and onions -- thawed

6 ounces baby spinach leaves

coarse stems trimmed off

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper

3 eggs

1 1/4 cups milk or half-and-half

2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese -- (8-oz.) divided

Sour cream -- for garnish

 

Serves 6 to 8.

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fit crust into a 9-inch pie plate; if

desired, heat a baking sheet on bottom rack as the oven is preheating in

order to later set a foil pie pan on that to help brown the bottom crust.

 

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and cook 5

minutes, stirring often, until browned. Add spinach. Cover and reduce

heat to low. Cook 3 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper.

 

Beat eggs in bowl. Add milk, spinach mixture and 1 1/2 cups of the

cheese. Mix well and turn into the crust. Bake about 50 minutes or until

center is set. Sprinkle with remaining cheese once the quiche is out of

the oven. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Dollop each wedge with

sour cream.
