Four Cheese Spinach Quiche

Submitted by Kitchen Witch Steph

"A woman in my mother's group (MOPS) brings this to our morning breakfasts. It is always eagerly received. She got it out of a Southern Living Holiday Cookbook. Good find! She uses a 12-inch tart pan when she brings it to us."

Delicious! My friends and family devoured it. This recipe is in my favorite stand-bys! Three suggestions: 1. You really do need an 11-in. pan. I tried a 9-1/2 in. pie pan and a 9-3/4 in. springform pan, but both were too small for all the filling. Everything fit when I used the 11-in. 2. You can cut the feta cheese. With all the other cheeses, the buttery crust, and the creamy spinach filling, the rich feta is not really necessary. That saves money on ingredients, too. 3. 40 minutes was too short for my oven. It took closer to 55 or 60 for the quiche to bake through. Thanks for this awesome recipe, Kitchen Witch Steph!
