Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant and translucent.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and low-fat milk until well incorporated. Season with salt and black pepper.
Stir the cooked spinach mixture and shredded mozzarella cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring all ingredients are evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it out evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on the top.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
