I'll admit that some nights I just don't have it in me to put a lot of thought into dinner. Don't get me wrong - I love cooking and I do find it to be somewhat therapeutic. But at the end of a long day sometimes you need to come home and space out to Friends re-runs instead of standing over a hot stove. This recipe is great for that.
Quiche is another one of those customizable ("kitchen sink," if you will) dishes. It's a great way to use up extra veggies, and the cheesy goodness makes any quiche very kid friendly (helloooo, sneaky veggie hiders!) Make this recipe yours - substitute your favorite cheeses, meats or veggies and see what combo your family loves.
PS - I apologize for the less than stellar photos. We were rather hungry and eager to dig in.

|Serves 2-4| Prep time: 10 min.| Bake time: 40-50 min.|
6 eggs
1 1/2 c milk
4 oz. sausage (whatever kind you like)
1/2 small onion, diced
handful of baby spinach, chopped
1/2 c cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray an 8x8 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk with a pinch of salt and pepper. Note: Make sure to beat the eggs well so that no egg white solids remain. I didn't do this. Baked egg whites turn out very tough. Learn from me, people. Add the chopped spinach and whisk. Set aside.
Meanwhile, cook the sausage and onion in a skillet over medium heat until the onions are somewhat soft and the sausage is cooked through. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Once sausage is drained well, spoon it into the bottom of baking dish. Follow with cheese and any other veggies and then top with the egg mixture. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the quiche is set and top is golden brown. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
