1½ cups frozen spinach

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

½ cup Bisquick

1 cup milk

2 eggs

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

¼ teaspoon (or to taste) paprika

⅔ cup grated Cheddar cheese

• Thaw the spinach. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9- or 10-inch pie plate or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

• Heat the butter or margarine in a frying pan. Cook the thawed spinach over medium-low heat, just enough to cook through. Don't overcook.

• Whisk together the Bisquick and milk. Whisk in the eggs. Stir in the salt, pepper, and paprika.

• Lay the thawed spinach on the bottom of the pie plate. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Pour the Bisquick, milk, and egg mixture over the top.

• Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Build Up Your Quiche

The recipe for Easy Quiche with Spinach is a basic recipe that can be adjusted according to whatever food you have on hand. For example, try reducing the frozen spinach to 3/4 cup and adding 2 slices bacon, ¼ cup onion, 1 tomato, and 3 sliced mushrooms, all sautéed. Just be sure to keep the filling ingredients (minus the grated cheese) to approximately 1½ cups.
