1/4 cup shortening
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 small garlic clove, pressed through garlic press to measure 1/8 tsp.
1 1/2 tablespoons milk

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh spinach
1/2 cup grated fresh carrots
2 large eggs
2/3 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon tarragon, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
3/4 cup grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese
GARLIC CRUST: Combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening and butter or margarine until particles are size of peas. Mix garlic with milk and sprinkle over flour mixture, mixing to a stiff dough; adding a few drops more milk, if needed. Shape into a ball.
QUICHE:
Preheat oven to 425�F. Prepare Garlic Crust and roll out to a 10-inch circle. Fit into 8-inch quiche pan 3/4 inch deep. Set aside while measuring remaining ingredients. Set a sheet of foil in the quiche pan and add a half-inch layer of uncooked beans (or aluminum pie weights). Bake in hot oven 425�F. 10 minutes until crust is partially baked. Remove foil and weights. Meanwhile, finely chop garlic to measure 1 tablespoon. Melt butter and add garlic and mushrooms. Saute over moderate heat about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add spinach, cover pan and turn heat low. Cook about 2 minutes longer, just until spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and add carrot (if carrot is very moist, squeeze out excess liquid). Beat eggs; stir in milk, salt, herbs and cheese. Add vegetable mixture and mix well. Pour into partially baked shell. Return to lowest rack of oven and reset thermostat to moderate (350�F.) Bake about 35 minutes, until set in center. Remove from oven and cool at least 15 minutes, before cutting. One 8-inch quiche
