Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 5 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish lightly with olive oil or cooking spray.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onions are softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until fully combined.
Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the egg mixture.
Add the cooked spinach, onion, and garlic mixture to the bowl and stir gently to combine.
Pour the mixture evenly into the greased pie dish or casserole dish, spreading it out so that the ingredients are distributed evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the middle and lightly golden on top.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your crustless spinach and cheese quiche warm or at room temperature. It pairs perfectly with a green salad or fresh fruit.
