Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Filling:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half or whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
- Sauté onion: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add spinach: Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Prepare egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Assemble: Spread the spinach mixture in the pie crust, sprinkle feta over the top, and pour the egg mixture over the filling.
- Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes until set and lightly golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- You can use frozen spinach—thaw and squeeze out excess moisture before using.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes or mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Quiche can be served warm or at room temperature.
