Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and press it gently into a 9-inch pie or tart pan. Trim any excess and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the cooked spinach, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix gently to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your ricotta spinach quiche warm, or refrigerate and serve chilled later.
