So this is the spinach quiche I talked about in the last post. Don't you think the tomatoes add a nice contrast to the green spinach? And it gets even better with the golden vegan cheese sauce. This pie is just perfect for these last summer days. Take it on a last-minute picnic, enjoy it for your last lazy summer dinner, or serve it on your goodbye-summer party -- it will remind you that it is still summer. . . .
This spinach quiche is a great way to utilize the summer's bounty of greens and tomatoes. And you do not have to stick to spinach -- almost any green you like will do. The cheese sauce relies on corn meal, completing the combination of summer produce. All you have to do is cook a cornmeal mush, add the seasonings and the spinach, arrange everything in your prebaked pie crust, and bake the pie! It is up to you which crust you choose to use, but I recommend this Oil-Based Savory Graham Crust. Also, if you do not like baked tomatoes, feel free to add them after baking the quiche.
Serve the finished spinach quiche warm. It is best the same day it is made, as the crust will start softening by the next day, but it will still be good. I like it with potato salad, such as this Easy Potato Salad With Vegetables.
