Spinach Rice Quiche Recipes

SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Wash and chop the spinach, removing tough stems. Sautee in a pan over medium heat for about three minutes, or until spinach is wilted. Squeeze as much water out as possible (I put it in a colander and press it with a spatula).
• Be honest, you didn't let the cream cheese soften first. No worries, just microwave it for about 15-20 seconds.
• Beat it with the half and half and eggs until smooth-ish then mix in remaining ingredients, including drained spinach. Pour mixture into prepared crust. Bake until filling is set, 25-30 minutes.
• Cool 10-15 minutes before serving.

SPANAKORIZO - GREEK SPINACH RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice well a few times until the water runs clear. Put the rice in a bowl and add water to cover it by 1 inch. Let is sit to soak for 20 minutes or until you are easily able to break one grain of rice between your fingers.
• Heat ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil in a braising pan. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft and golden brown. Add the spinach, lemon juice, garlic, tomato paste, and a big pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Sautee the spinach until just wilted. Stir in the mint and dill weed.
• Drain the rice well and add it to the pan. Add 1 ½ cups of warm water. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes until the water reduces a bit. Turn the heat to low and cover.
• Let the rice cook undisturbed for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and fully cooked through and all the liquid has been absorbed.
• Once cooked, let the rice sit covered for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
• When ready, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish for feta and parsley, if you like.

SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (on low fan speed, if using convection). During this time, cover the bottom of the piecrust with aluminum foil and uncooked beans. Place the piecrust in the oven and bake (blind bake) for 10 to 12 minutes to allow the crust to cook. The crust should be light brown on the edges when removing from the oven.
• During the cooking of the crust, whisk together the milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg and eggs in a bowl. After mixing the eggs, in a second bowl, blend together the spinach, bacon, cheese and parsley. Add half of the egg mixture to coat the ingredients, again mixing well. Next, add the mixture to the cooked crust then finish with the remaining egg mixture. Bake in the oven until the middle of the quiche is set, about 20 minutes.
