Spinach puff pastry quiche

I am pretty much obsessed with quiche and tarts. This spinach puff pastry quiche was nothing short of delicious. Quiche is so versatile. Once you have a good egg/milk/cream ratio down you can pretty much subsitute the filling with anything. I love that this recipe called for puff pastry. It is so easy to just take out of the freezer, thaw for 45 minutes, roll out and place into the pie dish. So flaky, buttery, yummy.

A quiche baking in my oven usually means I am preparing brunch for my honey or some friends. Brunch is one of my favorite meals. Mimosas, bloody mary's, freshly baked banana bread, eggs, bacon. It just doesn't get much better.

This quiche is vegetarian, easy and full of flavor. The most time consuming part is making sure you drain the spinach well so it doesn't make your crust soggy.  I served the quiche with a simple leafy green salad with a champagne vinaigrette.
