Posted here for safekeeping. You can also use all milk instead of cream and omit the butter pieces on top. NOTE: As suggested by one reviewer (Dec. 13, 2010), I am revising the recipe to correct a typo. (Sorry for the inconvenience!)

SWISS CHEESE AND SPINACH QUICHE

Swiss Cheese and Spinach Quiche image

One of our favorite quiches. From a local hospital cookbook my mom gave me. We omit the salt as the cheese adds enough salt for us. *Note: Make sure the pie crust is a deep dish! We have made this using a regular one before with messy results!

ONION QUICHE OR GRATIN (ADAPTED FROM JULIA CHILD)

Onion Quiche or Gratin (Adapted from Julia Child) image

I usually simplify Julia's recipes and omit some of the details, including using less fat, and they come out fabulous! I don't remember if I ever made this, but am posting it for safekeeping. For the quiche, use a pastry shell crust. For the gratin, omit the pastry crust. The cook time does not include time for baking the pastry shell.
