Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust pre-made pie crust
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. If the crust comes with instructions for pre-baking, follow those instructions; otherwise, prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling and set aside.
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Stir the shredded cheese and the sautéed spinach mixture into the egg mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the quiche on the center rack of your oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
