Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, finely diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup, shredded Gruyère cheese
- 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 halved (optional garnish) cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil or cooking spray and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until it becomes soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese and grated Parmesan. Mix thoroughly.
Gently fold the spinach mixture into the egg and cheese mixture, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Garnish the top with halved cherry tomatoes, cut-side up, for a pop of color (optional).
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove from oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with a simple green salad or crusty bread if desired.
