Quick Quiche

Fresh out of the oven Spinach & Cheese Quiche

Recently, my dad and sister came to pay us a visit before the spring semester would begin. Before they left around brunch time, I thought of a quick meal for them to have before they hit the road. All I had in my kitchen was some spinach, onions, and eggs. I found a frozen pie crust in the freezer that I needed to hurry up and use before it got freezer burn . I thought I would  put it all together and try a quiche.

If you do not have much in your fridge except some veggies that need to be used up or even a half bag of some frozen veggies, try a quiche. Not only is it super easy and filling, but a healthy alternative to the regular meals you may eat from week to week. I think they look pretty and elegant too! They are great to bring to a party or get together.
