Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 3 quiches (or 12 mini quiches)

Ingredients
  

Spinach Quiche

  • 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup half-and-half (or milk or cream)
  • 1/2 cup grated gruyere or cheddar
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 3 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (white, red, or green onions)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tube Pillsbury Crescent Dough

Instructions
 

  • Spray a tin pan with cooking spray. You can even shape your tins into a four-leafed clover if your feeling creative!
  • Roll out the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap and place in the tin. If you're using mini-tins, split the dough into 3 equal squares and place each square in a tin. Take a fork and lightly prick the interior of each crust. Then use the fork to press into the top edges of the crusts.
  • Refrigerate the crusts for 10 minutes. Then, fill and bake.
  • Preheat oven to 425ºF. 
  • Mix the cream cheese with the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the half-and-half, salt, and pepper. Then add the rest of the ingredients: spinach, gruyere, parmesan, and onions. Mix.
  • Fill the crusts with your mix. Then place the tins on a baking sheet and bake the quiche(s) for about 20 minutes. Cool for a few minutes.
  • Carefully remove the quiche(s) from the tin, line the baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the quiche on the lined sheet. Place the quiche back in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the crust sides crisp up a bit. Let cool for 10 minutes, then serve. 
  • Enjoy!
