I’ve been buying pie crusts in packs of two from the grocery store whenever I need one, that way I always have one hanging out in case I feel like making a quiche or pie on a whim.

The mood just so happened to strike on Labor Day, when I was up early with my son and saw a half-used bag of baby spinach in the fridge. I put this quiche together pretty quickly, and let me tell you – it ROCKED!

The texture was just perfect, and everyone loved it. Fresh nutmeg is a great flavor with greens, and the garlic and shallot were just enough to amp up the flavor while still keeping it simple.

And, of course, you know I had to throw in a bunch of cheese. It was light and fluffy and delicious, and I can definitely see mixing up the filling ingredients to include other veggies or meat, too.
