Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 small onion
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or oil.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Finely chop the onion and sauté it until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until well blended.
Stir in the shredded cheese and the cooked spinach-onion mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie dish.
Evenly distribute the halved cherry tomatoes across the top of the mixture, cut-side up.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
