Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 oz fresh spinach
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.125 tsp nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan lightly with cooking spray or butter.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Once cooled, press the spinach with a paper towel or clean dish towel to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until fully combined.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and the cooked spinach. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center—it should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy!
