Several years ago, I had to come up with an appetizer to serve at a pool party, and this colorful quiche was a hit.  It’s great on an antipasto tray, cut into wedges.

Pepperoni Spinach Quiche Recipe

Pepperoni Spinach Quiche

1 tube (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent rolls

1 large sweet red pepper, chopped

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

5 eggs, lightly beaten

½ cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

½ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

¼ cup sliced pepperoni, cut into strips

¼ cup half-and-half cream

2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley

1 Tbsp. minced fresh basil or 1 tsp. dried basil

Dash pepper

Separate crescent dough into eight triangles; place in an ungreased 9 inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom with points towards the center.  Press onto the bottom and up the sides to form a crust; seal seams.  Set aside.

In a small skillet, sauté red pepper in oil until tender.  Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.  Remove from the heat.  In another small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; stir in red pepper mixture.  Pour into crust.

Bake at 375 F. for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.  Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.         8 servings
