creamy spinach deliciousness

i've been traveling for the last few weeks, so i was extremely happy to be in the kitchen cooking yesterday. eric and i went to the farmer's market were we were given an extremely long neck squash - something i've never seen before.

i decided to make a potato quiche with a squash/spinach stuffing. it was awesome.

1 large potato
3 cups squash (cut into small bite size chunks)
5 cups spinach (steamed, water removed)
2 tbsp sour cream (i used tofutti vegan sour cream)
1/8 cup plain soy milk
bread crumbs
1/8 cup cheese (i used a vegetarian pepper jack)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
3 garlic cloves finely chopped

1. brown onion, garlic, and squash in pan - set aside
2. slice potato into very thin circles (mandoline works best)
3. spray pam in pie dish, arrange sliced potato around edges and bottom
4. mix onion, garlic, and squash with spinach, sour cream, cheese, and soy milk
5. add bread crumbs (i added enough until it was slightly stiff - maybe 4 tbsp)
6. mix in salt and pepper for taste. add mixture to pie dish.
7. cook at 350 for 30-35 minutes. during the last five minutes, brown with broil.

our friend jamie came over and the quiche was gone within 10 minutes. it was really tasty!
