Time 1h20m

Yield 1 10 inch quiche, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups matzo meal
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup blanched almond, finely chopped
1 1/4 lbs fresh spinach, washed and trimmed
1 1/4 cups onions, chopped (decrease if they smell strong!)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup swiss cheese, shredded (4 oz)
1 1/4 cups half and half cream (may use fat free)
2 eggs
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (may use low fat)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Steps:

Combine matzo meal and sugar; cut in margarine or butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 lightly beaten egg; stir well to combine. Stir in the almonds. Firmly press the mixture on the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch deep-dish pieplate. (I spray mine with oil, because everything tends to stick for me!) Prick the bottom and sides of the pastry with a fork. Bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes. Set aside, and let it cook completely.
Cook spinach in a small amount of boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes; drain. Press the spinach between paper towels to remove the excess moisture. Set aside.
Saute onion in oil in a medium skillet until tender. Combine the onion, reserved spinach, and Swiss cheese. Set aside.
Combine the half-and-half and next 5 ingredients in container of an electric blender (I use a handheld blender), and process until smooth. Set aside.
Spread the spinach mixture over the prepared crust; top with feta cheese. Pour the half-and-half mixture over cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until set. (Shield with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning if necessary). Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

KITTENCAL'S GREEK LEMONY RICE WITH FETA

Kittencal's Greek Lemony Rice With Feta image

Make this only if you are a lover of Greek food, this is a full flavored rice with intense flavor and not for those with a plain palette! --- since not everyone has a taste for olives I have left them as optional, I most always add them in -- after making this a few times you will most likely want to adjust some of the ingredients to suit your taste, or you may not, the amounts listed are close to what I use when I make this rice --- this is very good!

1 lemon, juice of, large whole

Tips:

Choose the right feta: Look for a feta that is firm, crumbly, and has a slightly tangy flavor. Avoid feta that is too soft or watery.

Use feta in a variety of dishes: Feta can be used in a variety of dishes, including salads, pasta dishes, pizzas, and dips. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a snack.
