Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought pie crust
- 5 cups fresh spinach
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup diced onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if needed. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Gradually add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
Spread the sautéed spinach and onions evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the spinach and cheese layers, ensuring it fills all gaps.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Easy Spinach Quiche warm, room temperature, or cold!
