Spinach, Caramelized Onion, & Feta Quiche

Today I crossed another “Culinary To-Do” off of my list, bake a quiche. I think I ended up putting too many potatoes in mine, because I didn’t have room to add all of my egg mixture. I changed my recipe to fix this by reducing the amount of milk and potatoes. I was afraid that my quiche was going to spill over, but it turned out perfect! The breadsticks make the crust extra delicious. If you ever are going to make a quiche, this recipe is the one you need to try! (Original recipe from Cooking Light on MyRecipes)

Spinach, Caramelized Onion, & Feta Quiche

Serves 6

2 tsp olive oil

3 cups onion (chopped)

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tbsp garlic powder

1 cup hash browns

1 can refrigerated soft breadstick dough

cooking spray

1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach (thawed, drained, and squeezed dry)

1/2 cup fat-free milk

Cover and let dough rest for 10 minutes.

7. Spread potato mixture in bottom of prepared crust.
8. Sprinkle 1/2 cup feta over mixture and top with spinach.
