Spinach and Caramelized Onion Quiche Recipe

One of my favorite versatile vegetarian meals to make is quiche.  With many variations and super easy prep it’s a go to on those times when I don’t have a lot in my refrigerator to work with.  This is our personal favorite recipe since we love the flavor combinations and it’s easy to dress up for a special dinner with guests.  I am including my favorite pie crust recipe but if you prefer any ready-made refrigerated pie crust will work nicely as a substitute.
