Spring farm quiche

Here's a quick and easy recipe we love to make, using up several eggs and loads of garden greens and herbs.

Spring farm quiche

Crust:
1 1/2 cups spelt flour (or wheat, etc)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup chilled butter
3-4 Tbsp cold water

Blend into soft dough using food processor.  Form into ball, and roll out using extra flour on table.  Makes one large crust.  Press into pie pan.

Filling:
5 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1 lb greens (arugula, spinach, mizuna, mache, mustard), lightly sauteed
herbs for sprinkling (chives, parsley, cilantro)
1 cup shredded cheese
red pepper slices, optional

Blend filling ingredients mixing well.  Pour into prepared crust.  Bake at 350F for about 45 minutes or until top and crust are golden.  Serve warm or cold, with fresh green salad.
