Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 ounces fresh spinach (or 1 cup thawed and drained frozen spinach)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you’re using a store-bought crust, gently place it in a 9-inch pie dish, then prick the bottom with a fork to prevent it from bubbling while baking. Pre-bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes, ensuring it maintains its shape. Once done, set aside to cool slightly while you move on to preparing the filling.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion, sautéing until it becomes soft and translucent—around 3 to 4 minutes. Follow by adding minced garlic, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Incorporate the fresh spinach into the skillet, allowing it to cook down and wilt, or thoroughly heat through if using previously frozen spinach. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk or half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and a dash of ground nutmeg if using. Pour in the sautéed onion-spinach mixture and fold in the crumbled feta cheese and shredded cheese (if desired) to intensify the flavors. Once uniformly mixed, pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly to ensure every slice is flavorful.
- Place your prepared quiche in the preheated oven, allowing it to bake for 35 to 40 minutes. You’re looking for a set center and a lightly golden top that indicates it has cooked perfectly through. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes, which will aid in easier slicing. Now, you’re ready to serve and enjoy!
