Quick Quiche

1 10-inch pie crust (pre-made in the refrigerated section)
2 cups grated Swiss Cheese
1 heaping Tbs. flour
4 eggs
2 cups Half & Half
1/4 tsp. (optional)
2 tbs butter

*10 oz frozen chopped spinach
OR
*1 chopped Green Pepper and 1 package of sausage

Preheat oven to 375.
If making the spinach quiche, cook according to package directions.
If making sausage/green pepper, brown the sausage and add pepper to pan as you chop it.

Spread pie crust into 9-inch pie plate. Add cheese to dish and then top with flour. Top with either spinach or sausage mixture.

In a separate bowl, lightly beat eggs together with fork and then mix in Half & Half. Pour egg mixture over cheese and toppings in pie plate.

Add salt, if desired. (I do not add salt to the sausage quiche. I do add to the spinach, as well as some fresh ground pepper.)

Top with sliced butter and cook for 45-60 minutes.

Easily made ahead and can be re-heated.

*You can top the spinach quiche with a sliced tomoato, if desired. Add salt and pepper to the top of the tomato to taste.

*Good for a brunch, or for dinner with a nice salad.
