Spinach Sausage Quiche

 This quiche recipe was found in a Pier Pleasures cookbook over twenty years ago and although I don't make it often, it is a treat when I do!

 Sunday seems to be a good day for quiche...it serves as brunch and dinner...works for me!

I used Sweet Italian sausage but you can substitute regular breakfast sausage or ham and the result will be delicious!

 I don't make as many pies as in the past, so it is good to make a pie crust occasionally so I don't forget how!!!

Spinach Sausage Quiche:

1 pound sausage

10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach

3 large eggs, beaten

3/4 cup whole milk

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, drained

3/4 cup grated Swiss cheese

9" pie shell, unbaked

Cook and crumble sausage, drain & set aside

Cook & drain spinach

Beat eggs and milk together; add onions, mushrooms, sausage and spinach.

Spread the Swiss cheese on the bottom of pie shell; pour egg mixture on top.

Bake at 400 degrees for about a 1/2 hour.

Spinach Parmesan Dip

Here is a little idea for a quick, easy, and delicious dip...Wind & Willow Spinach Parmesan!!!

If you are not yet acquainted with Wind & Willow, please consider getting to know their products!

Wind & Willow has several dip mixes and this particular one, you mix the contents with 8 oz. cream cheese and 1/2 cup sour cream...mix well in a small sauce pan over low heat...stir until thoroughly combined and warm.

Could it get an easier than that?

Dress the dip up a bit with a few chopped, green onions!
