Spinch - Green Egg Quiche

This really tastes better than it sounds, I promise. The recipe is a result of what I had in my fridge and not wanting to go to the store. Ah lazy cooking.

The fixings:
6 eggs
2-3 cups rolled and chopped spinach
2 medium sized bunches of broccoli, chopped
1/2 red onion
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
1/4 cup milk, cream, half and half or whatever you like to add to your eggs
Fresh ground pepper (a blended pepper is the best)
Salt
Butter
Square glass pan 6x2 or a 8-9" pie plate

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1. Rinse the broccoli and remove the tough outer portions of the stems. Chop into bite size pieces (tops and stems). Bring a pot of water to boil (add a touch of salt), once boiling put the broccoli in the water, remove from heat and let it stand for 2-3 minutes to blanch the broccoli. (You want the broccoli to remain pretty crisp since you will be baking it again.

2. Chop the onion in to size of your choosing, roll and chop spinach; set aside.

3. Grate or thinly slice the cheese, set aside.

4. Take cooking pan, I prefer the square pan, but the pie plate is good to, butter the pan bottom and sides generously. (This is a no crust dish so butter will prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan)

5. In a large bowl, crack and whisk the eggs, add the milk or half and half to the eggs and whisk till mixed and a touch frothy.

6. Add the broccoli, onion, and spinach to the eggs and mix till covered.

7. Grind fresh pepper into the mix and mix again. You can add as much or as little as you like depending on preference.

8. Add the cheese and stir again, making sure that all the veggies and cheese are covered.

9. Place in the prepared pan. It is alright that not all the veggies are covered at this time, the eggs will rise around them.

10. Place in oven and cook for 30-50 minutes or until the eggs are firm.

11. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Improvements/Variations for Next Time:

• One thing I found about this recipe is that the onions will turn green from the broccoli and spinach. How to fix this I don't know.
• Addition of mushrooms would be good.
  
• Next time I would top this with fresh sliced tomatoes and grated Parmesan toward the end of the cooking time and then set it under the broiler till browned or crispy.
  

Sorry no pic at this time, will add one next time.
