Hi, my name is Claire, My husband and I live in Timberlake Ranch, and I have a passion for cooking. I remember trying to make a white sauce when I was about ten years old. My father tasted it and said, "Too much flour." My skills have improved since then, thankfully. This web page is about sharing--food to cook, food for thought, and food for the soul. Just pretend we're sitting at my kitchen counter with a cup of coffee or tea, munching on homemade bread, and talking about good things as much as we can. Roasted Red Pepper , Feta, Spinach Quiche Crust: 1 unbaked pie crust (homemade or purchased) Suggested Crust: 1 C white flour Put dry ingredients in 10" pin pan and mix. Combine oil and milk and pour over dry ingredients. Mix and pat over pan to form crust. Bake 10 min at 400 degrees. Lower oven to 350 degrees. Custard: 5 large eggs Whisk together until thoroughly blended and set aside. Filling: ¼ C red onion, diced Saute onions and garlic in olive oil until soft. Season with salt and pepper and soy sauce. Add spinach to wilt. Add roasted red pepper. Crumble ½ C feta in bottom of pie crust. Spread filling over feta. Pour in custard to fill. Top with remaining feta.
