Molten Chocolate Lava Cake

Quiche is one of those dishes that works equally as well for breakfast as it does for lunch or dinner. Although this Spinach Quiche Recipe calls for fresh baby spinach, you can certainly substitute thawed, frozen spinach for the fresh in this Quiche Recipe.

Total Time: 60 minutes

* 1 frozen deep dish pie crust, thawed according to package directions
* 2 Tbsp. olive oil
