Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Fit the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust lightly to prevent bubbling. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach gradually to the skillet, cooking until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Drain any excess liquid from the spinach mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, oregano, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir the crumbled feta cheese and the sautéed spinach mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
