Spinach-Cheddar Quiche
From Athens Locally Grown
<p>We have 5 kids, ages 15 down to 1 year and they <span class="caps">ALL</span> love this meal. You know that says a lot when you can get all the kids to agree on something! Hopefully your family will enjoy this as much as ours does! The original recipe calls for half-and-half but I have found that evaporated milk makes a great (and less expensive) substitue. Also, the original recipe uses frozen spinach – I always use fresh and have never had a problem.</p>Source: Family Feasts for $75 a Week (page 121) (Entered by Ted Miller)
