Jay and Lynn Quiche

I always keep an emergency quiche in the house.  It's easy, delicious and you never know when you'll have a house full of tipsy, possibly stoned people that raid your kitchen and bitch because all you have is canned beans and mustard.

Now if you're one of those people, feel free to make your own pie dough, but know that you're wasting precious time that could be spent eating quiche and/or pie.  Trader Joe's and Whole Foods Market both make excellent frozen pie doughs that contain no preservatives.  Whole Foods even has organic and whole wheat options.

OK, let's do this:

Jay and Lynn Quiche
Makes 8 servings unless you are Jay and Lynn, then it makes 2 giant servings.
Prep time: 8 min, Bake time 40 min



1 frozen pie dough, thawed in the fridge overnight or on the counter away from the dog for about and hour.
2 T olive oil
1/2 large red onion, diced (go ahead and chop the whole thing - you'll probably use it later) 
4 big handfuls of baby spinach
5 large eggs
1/3 cup mayonnaise (trust me on this)
2/3 cup shredded asiago cheese
handful of chives, chopped

salt and pepper, to taste

Heat a pan over med/high heat; add oil.

Drop one piece of onion in - if it sizzles, add the onion and cook 'til they brown.

Add the spinach and cook til it's dark green and wilty.

Remove from heat and drain by placing the mixture in a colander and pressing with a spatula.

Once the spinach has cooled for just a couple minutes, combine it with all the other filling ingredients and whisk with a fork for a minute.

Pour filling into the pie shell and use the whisking fork to stab the bottom of the pie shell a few times.

Bake at 375ºF for 40 minutes or until golden brown and not jiggly in the middle.
