Spinach Squares

This is a healthier take on the Betty Crocker spinach squares that I grew up with. My two little ones gobbled them up.

Spinach Squares: 

Crust:
1 cup whole wheat flour 
1/4 cup ice water
1/4 cup olive oil

Filling:
8 oz (2 cups) shredded cheese (I like to use sharp cheddar) 
3 eggs
14 oz tofu
18 oz frozen spinach
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Salt (to taste) 
1 small onion, chopped
Breadcrumbs 

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix together the ingredients for the crust, form into a ball, then spread evenly in the bottom of a 9" x 12" casserole dish.
3. Mix together the cheese, eggs, tofu, spinach, onion, and spices. Pour it on top of the crust.
4. Dust the top with breadcrumbs.
5. Bake for 45 minutes.

Eggie Pie

This is like quiche but there's no cheese and a lot of vegetables.

Crust:
1 cup whole wheat flour
pinch of salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup ice water

Mix together, form into a ball, then push into a pie pan.

Filling:
1 small onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 broccoli crown, chopped
Halfa bunch of another vegetable such as cauliflower or asparagus, chopped

Saute the vegetables in olive oil and put into the pie shell.

Then mix:
5 eggs
1/2 cup milk (I've used soymilk as well as regular cow milk.)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
salt and pepper

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the pie shell.

Bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees.
