Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 6 large Eggs
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Milk (or unsweetened almond milk for lower fat)
- 0.75 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 9-inch pie crust Crust of choice (store-bought or homemade; whole wheat or gluten-free if preferred)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and milk until well combined.
Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, cooked spinach mixture, salt, and black pepper into the egg mixture.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the center of the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your protein-packed spinach and feta quiche!
