Spinach and Feta Quiche

1 Pie Crust (I used Pillsbury)
4 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 can petite diced tomatoes (use the whole can next time)
3/4 lbs. fresh spinach (about 10-12 oz.) Lightly steamed. or use frozen
green onions
green garlic
salt
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (I might use more next time)
1 1/2 cups grated Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon flour

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare pie shell in the pan, and bake for 8 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together eggs and milk. In a skillet add a little olive oil and saute the onions and garlic lightly. Add the spinach and cook until heated through. Add a little salt to help draw out the water as it's cooking. Squeeze extra moisture out of the spinach. Stir in tomatoes. Toss together the flour and Swiss cheese. Add spinach and cheeses to the egg mixture, stir to combine. Pour into hot pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 50-60 minutes. It's done when a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Quiche can be served hot or cold. You can bake it without the crust too.

Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip

Adapted from Light and Tasty 2003

olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 packages (10 oz. each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
8 oz. cream cheese (or light cream cheese), cubed
1 cup sour cream, regular or light
1 14oz can water packed artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
red pepper flakes, to your taste
grated cheese
Pita Chips

Heat about 1T. olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add the onion and cook until tender. Add the spinach and cook over medium heat until heated through. Add the cream cheese and sour cream, stir until melted. Add artichoke hearts, red pepper flakes and Parmesan. Spread into serving dish (microwave or oven-safe). Sprinkle grated cheese on top. I usually use what ever i have. I like Monterey Jack or white cheddar best. Microwave until cheese melts, or brown it slightly in the oven. Serve with Pita Chips. (or tortilla chips)

Always a favorite. I've also made this with fresh spinach. This is my favorite spinach artichoke dip because it doesn't have mayonnaise in it. I'm not particularly fond of the recipes that do. Just my personal taste.
