"This savory deep-dish pie features herbed feta cheese that melts and mingles in every bite. The cheese is sauteed and mixed with spinach, mushrooms, Cheddar cheese and lots of garlic. This mixture is then combined with milk and eggs, and poured into a prepared crust. A bit more Cheddar cheese is sprinkled over the top, and then the quiche is slipped into the oven until it 's set."

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 small onion, chopped 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained 1 (4.5 ounce) can mushrooms , drained 1 (6 ounce) package herb and

garlic feta, crumbled 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese salt and pepper to taste 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust 4 eggs, beaten 1 cup milk salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1.	Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.	In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Saute garlic and onion in butter until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in spinach, mushrooms, feta and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture into pie crust.
3.	In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into the pastry shell, allowing egg mixture to thoroughly combine with spinach mixture.
4.	Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle top with remaining Cheddar cheese, and bake an additional 35 to 40 minutes, until set in center. Allow to stand 10 minutes before serving. Note from Anne McDonald: Other ways to use this recipe! Stuffed chicken - put a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and hammer flat with a mallet or cooking hammer. Then lay chicken out flat, fill with the mix, roll up, wrap with bacon and secure with tooth pics, cook on 350 for 20 to 40 minutes (just keep on checking) and there you have it. I also like to use it in place of just regular cheese for quesadillas, it works great with the Costco ones. You can just mix it with pasta and it turns out really flavorful and colorful. In an egg omelet Really the options are endless Have fun
