I had a "deconstructed chicken salad" sandwich: Two slices of multi-grain bread spread with a thin scrim of mayonnaise, topped with thinly sliced celery and a little onion sliced paper-thin, sliced leftover grilled chicken breast, a couple small leaves of romaine lettuce. All the flavors of chicken salad with a lot less fat. And two blood oranges to follow. Cindy Hamilton |

It sounds and looks good and I love feta cheese. I almost bought some the other day at the grocery store but had no planned use for it so I didn't buy any. Interesting though...you made if for yourself but you still made a fancy crust edge. I wouldn't have bothered unless I had guests coming. I guess that's just a girl thing. heheh |

I love to make quiche...mine are usually bacon/cheddar/Jack,
or whatever shredded cheese I have on hand, within reason. Do you make your own crust? I always use Pet-Ritz frozen deep-dish pie crusts, two to a pkg. I always make two, freezing one. There is nothing better for breakfast or any meal, heated up in the microwave and with sour cream on the side. I have all the ingredients, think I will go make some. N. |

Since I don't bake [dessert] pies or quiche very often I merely accept the fact I just don't have the knack for it. I buy the frozen deep dish crusts, too. Yes, they come two to a package and work just fine for something like quiche. ![]() Jill |

LOL The base recipe is from The Frugal Gourmet, Jeff Smith's first book, with modifications I've made over the years. Less milk and cream, for example, unless you just want the filling to overflow. 10 oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained* 4 eggs, beaten 1/2 c. heavy cream 1 c. milk salt & pepper to taste 2 Tbs. lemon juice 2 Tbs. parsley, chopped 1/4 lb. feta cheese, crumbled 3 Tbs. grated Parmesan or Romano cheese Dash of ground nutmeg sprinkled on top (my addition) Drain the spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. *I use a collapsible vegetable steamer gadget to squeeze out the liquid. Mix the eggs, cream and milk. Add salt, pepper, lemon juice and parsley. Stir in the spinach and feta cheese. The original recipe calls for sprinkling the Parmesan on top but I just add it to the egg mixture. Sprinkle lightly with ground nutmeg. Bake at 375°F for 30-40 minutes (takes more like 50 minutes in my oven, just keep an eye on it) until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. May also be served at room temperature. Oh, and I put a baking sheet underneath to catch any overflow. There wasn't any this time but in the past I've had some issues with that. It's quite tasty! ![]() Jill |

I've never had much luck with spinach, but I like the thought of using feta. Sounds like a tasty pairing. I see a quiche in my very near future. Thnx Jill! ![]() nb |

Even if it's not prefect and you have to piece it together you will be amazed at how much better it tastes. It's seriously a big (and better) difference from any commercial crust. |

So I spend a couple of bucks for 2 frozen deep dish pie crusts. I don't make quiche often enough to think about pie crust from scratch. I didn't grow up having pie as a dessert. I know lots of people here did and there have been many dissertations about how easy it is to make pie crust. That's just fine if you make a lot of pies. I make quiche a couple of times a year. I buy frozen pie crust. Sue me. ![]() Jill |

Gary, those Pet-Ritz crusts have excellent taste, as good as the ones I
make...and I make great pie crust. Those frozen ones are perfect for a spur of the moment quiche. N. |

Oh, I'm *sure* (not really) it doesn't compare to home made. But the time I'd waste to turn out a bad crust (and make a floury mess) for a single quiche... it's a no brainer. I'll buy the frozen deep dish pie crust. ![]() Jill |

Personally, I find go along with the old saying "easy as pie" and I think nothing of making up a batch of dough to make a pie or to blind bake a couple pie shells. Not every one I make turns out perfectly, but none have been bad. I will confess that I was thinking of making some butter tarts and was thinking that it would make things a lot easier if I bought the tart shells. They are so much more work than pies. |

I don't even eat pie crust, I leave it all on my plate. I consider pie crust a garnish not meant for consumption. On a holiday I've been known to consume an entire apple pie without taking one bite of crust... I toss pie crust out my window for the critters. |

Cheri, I agree with your comment to Gary. The frozen crusts are even
better than the circles of pastry found in boxes in the refrigerator section, although they are pretty good. N. |
