Spinach Quiche

Have heaps of it (Spinach) growing in garden and saw this simple recipe

  1. Wash a decent amount of spinach- I used about 5 big leaves. Cut finely and cook in microwave 4+ mins till well wilted
  2. Place in bottom of greased casserole
  3. Beat together 4 eggs
  4. Add in 3/4 cup SR flour
  5. Add 1 1/2 cups of milk
  6. Add Jude's secret ingredient- a good slurp of sweet chilli sauce
  7. melt 1/2 cup of butter and cook 1 onion (cut up pretty finely) briefly in that
  8. throw into the batter mixture
  9. Add 125 gms grated cheese and 125 gms feta cheese
  10. Pour batter over spinach
  11. Cook moderate oven

Delicious and light and potential for many variations of veges, cheese or spices

Nice hot, cold or re heated!

Spinach Cob Dip by Beck

1 packet Frozen Spinach - cook and squeeze out extra moisture. Cool
1 small container Sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 packet dried spring vegetable soup
1 finely chopped onion
1 cob loaf

Mix all together in a bowl and leave for about three hours. It will not be thick to begin with but vegetable soup will swell and thicken it.

We always buy extra bread rolls to break up and heat until crispy in the oven as well (heat up cob loaf too (before putting in the dip)

This one tastes even better the next day after being in the fridge. :-)

Julie's Spinach Cob

I do a lovely spinach dip in a cob. It sounds revolting but always a winner with many people asking for recipe. The kids love it too even with green bits. here it is.

So simple too.

1 packet frozen spinach.(Thawed and very well drained) I squeeze out the excess water.
1 cup mayonnaise
1 packet spring vegetable soup(Dried)(I use continental usually but others ok i'm sure.)
300g sour cream. (I use light )
Mix together and best chilled overnight for more flavour.
Put in cob before serving.
