Spinach and Feta Quiche
Do you know anyone who hates feta?
Well you don't need to look very far. My whole family except for my dad HATED feta. We just could not get on board. I didn't like cottage cheese, and feta cheese reminded me of the traumatic experience in my school where we had to drink cottage cheese smoothies.
To this day, I shudder at that memory.
With my dad's insistence, we went to more and more Greek restaurants, and I have come to love the taste of feta cheese. Not so much cottage cheese, unless it's pureed and put in pancakes. But give me spanakopita, Greek salad and feta crepes any day, and they will be gone within seconds.
I should dub myself the feta fiend from now on.
This week I had a ridiculous craving for feta. I'm not one to have cravings, but this one came on hard and strong. So while I'm throwing tubs of feta into my shopping cart thinking about what I can make with it, I see that eggs are on sale. Eggs. On sale! When does that ever happen?
That is when I decided, there and then, that I was to make a quiche. Because quiche might be one of my favorite types of food to make. It's so easy, but it tastes so good! Especially the leftovers.
One of my favorite combination of ingredients is spinach and feta. The first time I tried these two ingredients together is when I bought a spinach and feta crepe at a restaurant in Vancouver. Ever since then, I went back to that restaurant multiple times to order the exact same thing: the spinach and feta crepe.
This Spinach and Feta Quiche is the next best thing. But all this talk of spinach and feta crepes is making me want to make some...
