A Quiche Formula*

Piecrust
1/4 -1/3 lb cheese (cheddar, swiss or soy)
1/2 lb spinach
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 medium onion, chopped finely
1/2 lb mushrooms
1 large stalk broccoli
1-2 medium tomatoes
snippets of basil and cilantro
3 eggs
1 cup milk (dairy or plain soy)

Place grated or cubed cheese directly upon the crust because it forms a moisture resistant barrier between the filling and the crust so the crust doesn't get soggy.

Add chopped and steamed spinach and broccoli to sautéed onions and mushrooms and dry mustard. Add tomatoes and fresh herbs once the other ingredients are sautéed.

Add filling over the cheese layer and then prepare the custard. Beat 3 eggs and 1 cup milk. Pour it over top the quiche. Dust the top with paprika.

Bake for 35-40 in 375 degree F. oven.
