I've never made quiche before, but my friend Marci explained how to do it, so I gave it a try. Wow...it was delicious! I chopped 2 cloves of garlic, 1 large shallot, and about 5 or 6 slices of deli ham. I took about half of an 8 ounce roll of filo dough and placed three sheets at a time, at different angles, into a pie pan sprayed with pam. Then I sprayed each layer, and brushed a little melted margarine on them, folding the ends under to make a pretty crust. Baked it about 15-20 minutes at 275 until it was looking crunchier, but not browned. Once it was out I put the oven to 350. I sauteed the shallots and garlic in some of the leftover margarine, then added the ham and a bunch of frozen spinach (the kind from a bag that's already little pieces). While those were hanging out in the pan I beat four eggs and about a cup of milk in a bowl. Put the filling in the pie shell, then the egg mixture and grated about 1/2 cup of sharp cheddar and mixed it all together in the pie shell. Baked for about 40-45 minutes and serve!
I also served some honey glazed carrots with this. I cut the carrots into round slices and boiled them for about 5 minutes. Mixed a couple tbps of margarine in a small skillet, added a BIG spoonful of raw honey, a little splash of lemon juice, and a pinch of ginger. Once it was boiling I added the carrot slices and sauteed until the juices were all absorbed. WOW were those carrots good! A nice sweet compliment to the savory quiche. :)
