Ingredients
1 pie crust
4 eggs
1 cup milk or heavy cream
2 cups fresh spinach
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, swiss, or feta)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Place the pie crust into a pie dish and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
Add spinach and cook until wilted, then remove from heat and cool slightly.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk or cream.
Stir in the spinach mixture and shredded cheese.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Pour the mixture into the prepared crust.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use frozen spinach if needed, but drain well to avoid excess moisture.
Add cooked bacon or ham for extra flavor.
Try different cheeses like goat cheese or mozzarella.
Make it crustless for a lower-carb option.
Let the quiche cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
