Broccoli quiche

2 T cold bacon fat
1 med onion, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
2 c chopped broccoli
1/2 c chopped, frozen spinach
2 9-inch pie crusts
1 1/2 c shredded cheese
4 eggs
1/2 c milk*
Salt and mrs dash to taste (I was pretty liberal with them!)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Divide cheese in half and layer on the bottom of the crusts.
  3. Over medium-high heat melt bacon grease in a saucepan. Add onions, garlic and broccoli.  Season with salt and mrs dash.  Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables start to soften.  Add spinach.  Cook till soft.  Spoon vegetables into crusts on top of cheese.  
  4. Combine eggs and milk. Season with salt and mrs dash.  Pour egg mixture over vegetables and cheese.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until center has set.

Notes:  I use Wholly Wholesome gluten free pie crusts, which are a little delicate, so I put foil over the edges for the first 20 minutes and remove it for the last 10.  I used so delicious brand coconut milk beverage this time because I had some given to me.  Normally I'd choose Silk soy milk, but this turned out just fine!  Daiya is my cheese of choice, because it tastes good and melts nicely.  And it's actually dairy free!  Many "vegan" cheese have casein or lactose in them.  Grrr...
