Spinach-Cheddar Quiche

We have 5 kids, ages 15 down to 1 year and they ALL 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.

In the summer, when its too warm for regular spinach, try this with Malabar Spinach or New Zealand Spinach. A little bit different but equally good!
