Spinach Feta Quiche

And now for another recipe post...
We tried this Spinach Feta Quiche recipe (from shrinkingonabudget.com) for dinner a few nights ago and it was great! I think it will definitely become one of our go-to meals. It is very inexpensive and easy to make (although its not necessarily a quick dinner because it has to bake for 45 minutes). We will be making this quiche again for sure!

*Points+ Value: 5
Servings: 6

Ingredients:
8 oz Mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 tsp Garlic
10 oz Leaf Spinach (frozen)
4 Eggs
1 cup 1% Milk
2 oz Feta Cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan
1/2 cup Mozzarella

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. If your frozen spinach is not already thawed, thaw it in the microwave. Empty the box into a colander and let it drain while you begin to prepare the rest.
Place the sliced mushrooms in a skillet coated with non-stick spray, add the minced garlic, and sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Turn the heat on to medium-high and saute the mushrooms until they release all of their moisture and no more water remains on the bottom of the skillet (5-7 minutes).
Spray a pie dish with non-stick spray. Squeeze the rest of the water out of the spinach (very well) and spread it out on the bottom of the pie dish. Next add the cooked mushrooms and crumbled feta.
In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs until fairly smooth. Add the milk, parmesan, and another small sprinkle of pepper. Whisk to combine. (This step can be completed while the mushrooms are cooking) Pour this mixture into the pie dish over the spinach, mushrooms, and feta. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over top. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet for easy transfer into the oven. Place the quiche into the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to an hour or until it is golden brown on top and the center is solid.

We paired this quiche with a quick and easy fruit salad and it was a perfectly filling, but light, dinner! I'll share the fruit salad recipe in the next post!
