Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Whisk the eggs together. Add whole milk, salt, pepper and onion powder.
In the bottom of a deep-dish pie crust, sprinkle half of the chopped spinach. Top with half of the cooked sausage, half of the minced onion and half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers again, beginning with the rest of the spinach, followed by the sausage, onion and cheese.
Pour egg and whole milk mixture into the pie crust over the layered ingredients. Bake for 40-55 minutes or until egg mixture is firm and the top is golden brown.
Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

You may substitute heavy cream for the whole milk for a thicker quiche. (Higher fat content in the dairy will yield a firmer quiche.) Cooking time may be slightly reduced.
