I’m not sure how I went from quiche and tarts on this lovely Spring day, to winter Holidays; but there you are :-)

I like the quiche recipe, and the tomato galette looks scrumptious, but it has too much crust for us. (Mr. t has diabetes).

I emailed him the quiche recipe. :)

Yum, quiche!

That’s something I love, but forget that I can make it - and use any ingredients that are on hand as well.

Thanks for the reminder ;)

Asparagus Ham Quiche Recipe
Ingredients
2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen cut asparagus, thawed
1 pound fully cooked ham, chopped
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup chopped onion
6 eggs
2 cups milk
1-1/2 cups buttermilk baking mix
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions
In two greased 9-in. pie plates, layer the asparagus, ham, cheese and onion. In a bowl, beat eggs. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Divide mixture in half and pour over asparagus mixture in each pie plate. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 12 servings.

Rather than frozen, when available, fresh is much better IMHO The Swiss cheese gives it a ‘nutty’ flavor.

I love quiche. Do you have a great recipe for spinach quiche? My winter garden has produced some bountiful harvests of spinach this year, and I am eating it almost daily and freezing some too.

Today I tried a new recipe for Thai Stir Fry Spinach:

1/2 Tbls EVOO
1/4 Tbls minced garlic
2 Cups Fresh Spinach
1/2 Tbls fish sauce
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp raw sugar(regular is ok too)
1 Tbls water
1/16 tsp red curry paste

Heat the oil a bit, add garlic and cook just a little, then add the spinach.

After about a minute, turn the spinach over and stir with spoon, and the other ingredients all at once(I mixed them before I started and kept them sitting by the stove).

Put the lid on for about a minute, then stir a bit more till done as you like. All together about 2 minutes from start to finish of cooking for me.

Last spring our cooking club leader made this after finding fresh mushrooms in the forest . It was wonderful. I love Suzanne Goin’s recipes.
