Indian Spiced Quiche

I am continuing my theme of trying new recipes. I am batting 2 for 2! This quiche is delicious... Recipe includes healing spice turmeric, and is high in protein and calcium. Could be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I did tweak a few ingredients. For the 1/2 cup of buttermilk; I heated 1/2 cup water and added 5 ounces of garlic and herb soft goat cheese (Whole Foods brand) stirring to mix and substituted shredded provolone cheese for mozzarella. Also for the 1 cup frozen spinach; I used fresh, chopped spinach. The original recipe is from Pinterest.

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs
• 1/2 cup buttermilk (see intro for substitution)
• 1 cup mozzarella (see intro for substitution)
• 1 small shallot or onion, chopped
• 1 large white potato, peeled and small diced
• 1 cup frozen spinach, unthaw with water squeezed out (see intro for substitution)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder (Madras Curry Powder (blog: 4/23/13)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder 
• 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 1/2 teaspoon garam masala (Garam Masala (blog: 4/23/13)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• margarine or butter
• flour or almond flour

Directions:

Heavily grease a glass pie pan with margarine or butter and coat with flour or (GF )almond flour.

Fill a saucepan with the diced potatoes and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender; about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a skillet over medium heat add one tablespoon oil. Add the spices, onion, and spinach. Cook until onions are soft, 5 minutes. Toss in the cooked potatoes, coating with the spices.

In a large bowl, beat eggs and buttermilk. Mix in the cheese. Add the potato mixture and stir to combine. Pour egg mixture into prepared pie plate.

Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for about 35 minutes; until eggs are set.
