Easy Mushroom and Spinach Quiche

Hubby and I love quiche but with life being what it is I don't always have time to make crust, sautee and cool spinach and veggies, hand shred cheese then bake. So here is my throw together quiche.

So I used store bought everything. I even used frozen roasted mushrooms! Make sure to defrost spinach and mushrooms and set to drain to get out as much water as possible.

Next place refrigerated pie crust in a 9 inch pie plate and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. I use clean, dried beans instead of pie weights.

In the meantime mix up the egg mixture and measure out the cheeses. Remove pie weights or play find the lucky bean. Layer spinach and mushrooms and top with cheese. Pour egg mixture over the top.

Bake for 45 minutes or until middle is set and top is browned and delicious.

So here is the recipe:

1 refrigerated pie crust

1 10 oz. box frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

1 8oz. bag frozen roasted mushrooms, thawed and squeezed dry

1 cup shredded cheese of choice

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan

1 cup whole milk or half and half

4 eggs

1 tsp. nutmeg

1 tbs. each garlic and onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350. Prebake pie crust 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.

Use microwave to defrost spinach and mushrooms. Drain in a fine sieve colander. Squeeze dry to remove all moisture.

Whisk together milk, eggs, nutmeg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.

Layer spinach and mushrooms on the bottom and top with cheeses. Pour egg mixture over cheese. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until middle is set. Allow quiche to rest for 5 minutes then slice and enjoy!

Walton's Southern Table

This new restaurant in the Former Ruby Tuesday at 4901 Whitesburg Drive is a down home cooking kind of place. The decor is cheery and the friendly staff makes it a joy. Highlights are the fried okra and fried chicken that both have a magnificent scald on them. I also had the broccoli salad, divine hashbrown casserole and spinach. It was delicious however I would skip the spinach. Not much flavor and seems thawed from frozen. Hubby loved the chicken and massages potatoes. We will for sure be regulars and recommend a trip there for an affordable and delicious southern dinner!

GrandMother's House

What can I say? I love good country cooking and GrandMother's House just went to the top of my list. It's located in Owens Crosss Roads in a little house that any Grandmother could call home. It's off the beaten path but easy to find. We were greeted by a kind, older gentleman and were sat in the front dining room. Our lovely waitress was welcoming and just what you would expect. Service here is nothing but down home friendly. I had Country Fried Steak with Speckeled Butter Beans, Creamed Potatoes and Fried Okra. I couldn't smack my momma so I smacked my husband! The steak had a perfect scald on it and the creamed potatoes reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. The okra was breaded perfectly and the beans were delicious. Hubby had Chicken n' Dupplins with Fried Okra, Lima Beans and Cucumber Salad. He was in heaven. We hardly spoke during our meal except to tell each other how good the food was. I can't wait to go back!! You have to try this restaurant. G

Supper Hero's

This is a great little place off Winchester Road but still in the city limits. It is a family place with a super hero theme. Comic books, action figures and movies on the flat screen entertain while waiting for your grub. The menu offers salads, sandwiches, burgers & daily specials. We started with fried green tomatoes and a medley of deviled eggs. The tomatoes were awesome and came with a horseradish and a spicy sweet dipping sauce. The eggs were very good. You don't usually have eggs as an appetizer option! I had the Fungus Among Us burger which was delicious and Hubby with Mama had the Meatloaf wrapped in bacon. The flavor was different but great. I can't wait to go back! They have a Facebook page. I recommend checking it out!
