The Former Ann Florence's Florentine Quiche

Forget the myth that real men don't eat quiche! My brother loves this one his wife makes.

Cooked chicken breast, spinach, a mixture of cheese, and eggs are the primary ingredients in this quick and

easy Chicken Florentine Quiche; however, the slivered toasted almonds give it that added touch of flavor -- and class!

Ingredients:

1 cup cooked chopped chicken breast
1 box frozen chopped spinach, thawed & drained
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 ounces toasted slivered almonds

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Layer the chicken breast, spinach, onion, mozzarella cheese, and Swiss cheese in an unbaked pie shell. Light beat the eggs together with the milk, and pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the pie shell. Top with the almonds.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the eggs are set.

Cool 5 min before cutting

Ann used a Marie Callender pie crust when she made the quiche you see in the picture. And, as the photo below illustrates, you don't even have to remove the crust from the tin pie plate to fancy things up when you serve it. Simply use a bakeshop trick: Make a pedestal by turning a bowl over on a place mat and put the quiche on top of the "pedestal."
