Clinton's Special Vegetarian Quiche recipe

6 servings

1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed

1 cup fresh spinach, cleaned and stemmed

4 tablespoons water

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 onion, chopped

2 tablespoons butter

5 eggs

1 cup cottage cheese

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

salt and pepper to taste

2 tomatoes, thinly sliced

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Spray a quiche dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Line the quiche dish with puff pastry, press the pastry firmly in place and trim away any excess pastry.

Blind bake for 10 minutes.

In a large skillet place spinach and 4 tablespoons water.

Heat the mixture over medium and cover the skillet.

Cook until the spinach is done, approximately 2 minutes then drain well.

Add nutmeg to the spinach and puree the mixture.

In a large skillet, saute the onion with butter or margarine to taste.

Saute until the onions are soft and transparent.

In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat eggs.

Stir in the cottage cheese, spinach, and 1/2 cup of cheese.

Season with salt and pepper.

Arrange onions along the bottom of the pastry-lined quiche dish.

Arrange the tomatoes over the onions.

Pour the egg-mixture over the onions and tomatoes, and top entire concoction with the remaining cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the quiche has set in the middle.

Serve hot or cold, your choice!
