Spinach and Feta Quiche

Submitted by ozzygirl

"A lovely light meal to have with a glass of wine on a summers day/eve. It can be eaten warm or cold. It works well with a crisp rocket salad as a side and a thick crusty loaf. This recipe is made without a pastry base but I am sure you could add that as an addition."

This is great! i made this for dinner the other night. I was looking for a quiche recipe with a lot of eggs and spinach for iron. The feta really enhances the taste. I will be making this again!
