Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 1.5 cups Jarlsberg cheese, shredded
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup spinach, fresh and roughly chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out or prepare your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough and lightly prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Blind-bake the crust by lining it with parchment paper and filling it with pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment, and bake for another 5 minutes. Let the crust cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, melted butter, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until fully combined.
Sprinkle the shredded Jarlsberg cheese evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked crust.
Evenly distribute the chopped spinach and sliced green onions over the cheese layer.
Pour the egg mixture carefully over the filling, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is slightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Pair with a simple salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
