Feta, Red Pepper, and Spinach Quiche

"What the fuck is feta?" Someone call the Guinness Book of World Records because you actually have a good question. It is this weird cheese that the ladies (and Greek shipping heirs) use for all sorts of crap, especially cucumber salads. Think about the last time you had a gyro (gi-row) sandwich. It probably had feta in it; I think. It comes from a sheep or a goat or a yak; I can't remember. Anyway your lady is sure to have it somewhere around the house. Check the refrigerator first. Let's begin:

Make your standard crust and layer the bottom with 2/3c of that crazy feta cheese. In a small saucepan lightly saute 1 sliced red pepper for about a minute and then toss in 2c (or 5oz) spinach for one more minute and then remove from heat. Be sure to de-stem and wash the spinach dummy. Evenly spread this crap over the feta. Don't be afraid to move it around with your hands. "Well your pie looks a little uneven." I didn't realize this picture was three dimensional. Really? You can see below the spinach where there is more red pepper? Dickhead.

Now whisk 6 eggs and a little milk with some salt and pepper. Pour evenly over the pie and give it a little shake to help the eggs settle. Shake it horizontally stupid: not vertically.

Bake at 375 deg until done. With a quiche you just got to watch it after about 30 min and once it puffs up and you cannot see anymore raw egg, guess what, it's done. Cool, slice and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
