I don't know how "traditional" this recipe is, but it's the only one I make - and it's delicious!!
Vegetable Quiche (From "Gracious Goodness...Charleston")
2 tbsp butter or margarine 1 pkg frozen chopped spinach or broccoli, thawed 1/2 tsp salt Dash white pepper 1/2 tsp dill weed* 1/2 tsp shallots, dried* 3 eggs 1 cup heavy cream* 8 oz (2 cups)Swiss cheese or Cheddar cheese, grated (or combo of the two) 1 9-inch deep-dish pie shell Parmesan cheese
Melt butter or margarine in skillet. add thoroughly drained spinach or broccoli, salt, pepper, dill weed, and shallots; cook until tender. Set aside.
Whisk eggs and heavy cream together; set aside.
Place cooled vegetable mixture in pie shell; sprinkle grated cheese over top. Pour in liquid mixture and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
Serves 8.
*Substitutions: I use a hearty amount of dill weed, simply because we love it. I use freeze-dried onions in place of the shallots. I just add them toward the end of the saute process. I substitute 1 cup of fat-free evaporated milk for the heavy cream.
