Description
A twist on the traditional quiche to be enjoyed during the Passover holiday. Matzo farfel is used to make a delicious crust. This quiche will not be passed over and can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It tastes even better the next day! Add a dollop of sour cream to each slice and serve with salad.
Ingredients
- 2 cups matzo farfel
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups skim milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 turkey sausage links, casings removed
- 2 cups baby spinach
Directions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 2. Soak matzo farfel in a small bowl of water for a few minutes. Drain, squeezing out excess moisture. Return to the bowl.
- 3. Melt margarine in a microwave-safe bowl, 20 to 30 seconds. Add to the matzo farfel; mix together and press into a greased round baking dish.
- 4. Bake crust in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool. Keep oven on.
- 5. Meanwhile, whisk eggs together in a large bowl. Mix in Cheddar cheese, milk, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- 6. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan. Cook and stir turkey sausage until crumbled, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in spinach until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold turkey-spinach mixture into the egg mixture. Pour into the prepared crust. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any overflow or spills.
- 7. Bake in the preheated oven until center is set, about 50 minutes.
