    Egg Pi (A.K.A. Quiche)

    One last recipe before Pi Day cuts out – spinach and cheddar quiche. But not just any quiche. Mini-quiche. Even better, right?

    Mini Spinach and Cheddar Quiche

    (from myrecipes.com)

    Ingredients (yields 24 mini-quiches)

    1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter

    1/3 medium onion, finely chopped

    1/2 clove garlic, minced

    3 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

    1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese

    1 large egg, lightly beaten

    1/2 cups milk

    Salt and pepper

    One 9-inch unbaked pie shell

    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

    On a skillet, melt the butter on medium heat, and saute the onions until translucent. Add in the garlic and saute another minute or so. Transfer into a small bowl, and allow to cool.

    Make sure your spinach is chopped finely. Mix spinach with cheese, and onion mixture in a medium sized bowl.

    In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Roll out the pie crust, and using a small cup, cut out 2 1/2 inch circles. Place circles of dough into the bottoms of a miniature muffin tin.

    Fill each tin halfway with spinach and cheese mixture. Pour about a tablespoon of egg mixture over the spinach and cheese (don’t overflow).

    Place in oven, and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until set and browned. Allow to cool before removing from tins.
