Artichoke and Feta Quiche

Yield: makes 1 quiche

Ingredients

Frozen pie crust (9in.)

Filling:

1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots

1 cup chopped thawed frozen artichoke hearts

1 cup crumbled feta

Custard:

1 1/4 cups half-and-half

2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

3 large eggs

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Press a piece of foil over the chilled crust, then fill with pie weights, raw beans or rice. Bake to set the crust, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake until the crust is light brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly before adding the filling.

Directions For the Filling: 

Sprinkle the shallots evenly into the crust. Combine the artichoke hearts with the feta and sprinkle it in an even layer over the shallots.

For the custard: 

Whisk together the half-and-half, parsley, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.

Pour the custard over the filling. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake until set, 35 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
