• 1 tablespoon snipped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Prepare Baked Oil Pastry. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Shred Gruyere cheese; you should have 3/4 cup. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the cheese.

2. In a large bowl, beat together remaining cheese, the egg, spinach, half-and-half, thyme, and pepper. Pour egg mixture into Baked Oil Pastry.

3. Bake for 40 minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved 2 tablespoons cheese. If necessary to prevent over browning, cover edge of quiche with foil. Bake about 10 minutes more or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Let stand on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. Makes 10 servings.
