Daddy On-Call Quiche

Daddy’s not a big fan of quiches, but my preschooler loves them.

“When Daddy’s on-call again, can we have quiche?” she recently asked.

And so we did.

Here’s our favorite quiche recipe:

Basic Quiche

Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 cup feta cheese
1 cup half and half
Dash of salt, pepper, and nutmeg
1-10 ounce package of frozen chopped spinach, cooked (Make sure to squeeze out the extra moisture once the spinach is cooked or the quiche will turn out soggy.)
OR about 2 cups shredded fresh baby spinach (just tear leaves into pieces with your hands; this is a great job for little ones)
Prepared pie crust

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Puncture pie crust with a fork, and bake for about 10 minutes.
3. Whisk eggs in a bowl.
4. Beat in remaining ingredients.
5. Fill pie crust, and bake until golden brown, about 35-45 minutes.

Quiche variations: Add one or more of the following: bacon, mushrooms, 2 tablespoons of chopped chives, chopped tomatoes, etc. You can also try making it with different types of cheeses.

    You can also go crustless for a lowered carb alternative. My husband loves my crustless spinach quiche (made with muenster cheese).

    […] Lent – can you believe it?), here’s our recipe for what we’ve come to refer to as Daddy On-Call Quiche. My girls love feta and spinach (a little weird, I know, but I’m not going to complain) and […]

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.
