Spinach-Gouda-Pecan Quiche

Submitted by mliss29

"I discovered this contest late at night on Saturday. Not realizing it was January 26th, I printed off the ingredient list to show my young son who aspires to be a chef. He was game until he said, "It's already January 27th, should I try the next contest?" "What?!" I replied, "Today's the 27th?" So anyway, I haven't actually tried this recipe, but I think it sounds good. LOL I did try it during the contest, and I have changed the instructions a little."

This was a good basic quiche. I thought it was short on seasonings. Also, best as 'left-overs'. When it was fresh out of the oven, I didn't care for the texture of the cheese. It seemed to feel very waxy in my mouth. But as it cooled, that sensation went away.
