Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional, freshly grated)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges if desired. Dock the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Blind bake the crust. Line it with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment, then bake for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until well combined.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked crust.
Add the sautéed spinach on top of the cheese layer.
Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and cheese, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.
Place the quiche on the center rack of the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is just set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your savory Spinach Cheese Quiche!
