Help! A simple quiche for dinner
I was wanting to make a quiche for dinner, without making a trip to the store. Anyone have a good/simple recipe? I do want to make the crust, I have spinach and some other veggies and a few different cheeses. As far as meats...all I have right now is chicken. Tips, ideas?

PATE BRISEE (quiche pastry)
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt (kosher)
8 oz butter (chilled and cubed)
ΒΌ cup ice water
(canola oil to grease the ring/pie tin)
Put one cup of flour and all the salt in mixer. Add butter a bit at a time on low. Go up to medium and mix till well integrated. Reduce speed and add rest of flour. Mix until just combined. Add water. Mix until incorporated. Pat dough into disk and let rest in fridge for 1 hr to 1 day. Blind bake at 375F for 35 - 45 minutes.
(filling: 1 cup milk, 3 eggs, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper and whatever else you want)
only problem is the dough needs to rest an hour.

From King Arthur Flour 200th Anniv Cook Book:
"Short" Crust (perfect for quiche):
1.5 C AP Flour
1 t Salt
.5 C Veg Oil
2 T Milk
Whisk Flour & Salt together
Beat Oil & Milk to incorporate as much air as possible
Blend Dry Ingr into Wet
Using fingertips press dough evenly into bottom and up sides of pie plate, pinch rim around top
Prebake crust at 450 degrees 10-12 min
Filling (modify to suit taste):
3-4 Eggs
3 T AP Flour
1-1.5 C Liquid Dairy (Milk/Sour Cream/Yogurt etc)
1.5-2 C cooked chopped Vegetables and/or Meat
1/5 C Grated Cheese (just about any kind works)
Beat together Eggs/Flour/Liquid (Brush on a bit of this mixture to seal pre-baked crust)
Spread Veg/Meat, then Cheese into Crust
Pour Liquid Mix Over all
Bake 375 degrees 35-40 min
I like a simple WIld Rice/Ham/Cheddar combo!
