Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made or homemade, 9-inch Pie crust
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan, pressing it gently into the corners. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Drain any excess liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Stir the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, Gruyère, and grated Parmesan into the egg mixture. Then add the ricotta, blending gently.
Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over the base of the prepared pie crust.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the spinach, spreading it evenly and ensuring all the ingredients are distributed throughout the crust.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden-brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
