1 tablespoon cold vegetable shortening
1 1/2 tablespoons ice water plus additional if necessary
N/A water
1/3 cup sliced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups packed fresh spinach leaves, trimmed and washed thoroughly (about 5 ounces)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream or milk

Remove skillet from heat and season spinach mixture with salt and pepper. In a small bowl whisk together eggs and cream.
  4. Sprinkle feta over bottom of shell and arrange spinach mixture on top. Pour cream mixture over spinach and bake quiche on a baking sheet in middle of oven 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350°F. and bake until set, about 10 minutes.
