Swiss & Spinach Quiche is a savory baked dish made with tender spinach, nutty Swiss cheese, and a rich egg custard inside a buttery pie crust. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or light dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (or 1/2 cup frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using raw pie crust, par-bake it for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  3. Sauté fresh spinach until wilted. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  5. Spread spinach evenly over the pie crust. Add Swiss cheese, onion, and garlic (if using).
  6. Pour egg mixture over the filling. Gently shake the pie to distribute evenly.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until center is just set and top is golden.
  8. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Drain spinach thoroughly to prevent a watery quiche.
  • Par-baking the crust keeps it from getting soggy.
  • Add cooked bacon, mushrooms, or herbs for extra flavor.
  • Can be served warm, room temperature, or cold.
  • Freeze whole or sliced quiche after baking; reheat in oven.
