Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade, 9-inch Pie crust
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 4 large Eggs
- 1.25 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
- 2 Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place your 9-inch pie crust into a quiche or pie pan. If using a store-bought crust, follow package instructions for pre-baking, if required.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until fully combined.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Then layer the sautéed spinach on top, followed by the chopped basil.
Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and cheese layers, ensuring it is evenly distributed within the crust.
Arrange the sliced Roma tomatoes in a circular pattern on top of the mixture. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick in the center—it should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Tomato Florentine Quiche with a side of mixed greens or fresh fruit!
