Spinach or Broccoli Quiche


9" pie shell, uncooked
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 eggs, slightly beaten
2/3 cup milk
10 oz frozen broccoli or spinach
1/2 tsp onion powder
salt & pepper, to taste

Combine all but the pie shell and mix well. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes, or until center is firm (no jiggle). Let sit 10 minutes before cutting. Optionally, cool completely and freeze. To reheat, bake in oven at 350 for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through.

*Alteration: Substitute mozzarella and/or parmesan for cheddar cheese. Omit onion powder. Add 1/2 tsp each of garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Bake as directed.

**Made three last night so I could freeze two. My pie plates are relatively deep. I quadrupled the filling and it worked out just right for three.
