Spinach Mushroom Quiche

And Easter Tradition!

1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust
Butter
1 c. chopped raw onion
small splash balsamic vinegar (for caramelizing, optional)
8 oz. fresh mushrooms (I prefer the Baby Bella's)
8-9 oz pkg. frozen spinach
1 c. shredded Swiss
1 c. shredded cheddar
1/4 c. shredded Parmesan (optional)
4-5 eggs, beaten
splash or two of milk
salt and pepper, to taste

PREP: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Caramelize onion with touch of butter, a pinch of pepper, & optional splash of balsamic vinegar (just a light touch). Lightly saute sliced mushrooms in butter. (I cut back on the butter use by added a touch of water if needed.) Heat or thaw frozen spinach.

COMBINE caramelized onion, mushrooms, spinach, & cheeses. (OPTIONAL to save some of cheese for top once in the pie shell.) Mix well.

BEAT eggs, season, & add splash of milk.

ADD egg mixture to mushroom mixture. Combine well. Season to taste with salt & pepper.

POUR egg & mushroom mixture into pie crust.

BAKE in 400 degree oven about 35 minutes until brown and bubbly.

Cute shoes?

I just want be able to find a cute pair of vegan shoes as easily as any other kind of cute shoe. I ordered a pair online, they're alright, but not quite a "cute shoe" and the first time I wore them they gave me blisters. Ugh!
