Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups baby spinach or kale, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped greens (spinach or kale) and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir in the cooked greens, parsley, dill, and half of the crumbled goat cheese.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining goat cheese and Parmesan cheese (if using) over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
