1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry wasabi
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 (10 ounce) package spinach, cooked, chopped and drained
1 (9 inch) short crust pastry (divide by 4 make 4 mini pie shell)


Method:

In a large bowl, beat eggs; whisk in milk, 1 cup cheese, capsicum,onion, bacon, salt, mustard and paprika. Add spinach. Pour into pie shell. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted halfway between the center and the edge comes out clean.

  3. Oh I definitely have those days. Sometimes if I didn't have kids I probably wouldn't even eat dinner on those days. Being a mom can be so exhausting at times. I love quiche and would enjoy it as a meal any day. Yours looks delicious.
