Chicken and Spinach Quiche

2 unbaked deep dish pie crusts
4 cup chopped, cooked chicken
1 cup shredded swiss cheese
1 10 oz. package frozen chopped spinach cooked & drained
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 eggs slightly beaten
3/4 cup Miracle Whip Light
3/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp dried basil
black pepper
sprinkle top w/ parmesan cheese

Prick crusts with fork, bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
In a large bowl toss chicken, cheese, spinach and onion. Spoon into crusts.
Stir remaining ingredients together and pour over chicken mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown*. Remove from oven and let set up for 15-20 minutes.
*Lay a piece of foil lightly over each quiche until the last 15-20 minutes so they don't get too dark. Sometimes they need more than 40 minutes.

This is my Mother-in-Law's recipe. It's really yummy and I usually freeze one of the quiches for later because it makes a lot for 2 people. And although quiche is usually considered a "girly" food, my husband really likes this one. It's more chicken and spinach than egg.
