Spinach or Arugula Quiche

Recipe found in Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child

If you use the Arugula, keep in mind it will add quite a bit more flavor but certainly will be delicious!  Also, we do offer Savory Pastry Dough, which you can order with your CSA share as an Add-on item.  Quiche and savory tarts are great to make for quick meals or lunches enjoyed throughout the week.

2 TB Green Onion tops, finely minced

2 TB Butter

1 1/4 cups chopped Spinach or Arugula, blanched

Pinch Nutmeg

3 Eatwell Farm Eggs

1 1/2 cups Whipping Cream

1 8" Pastry Shell, partially cooked on a baking sheet

1/4 cup Swiss Cheese, grated
