Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and aromatic.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  5. Spread the cooked spinach mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the spinach.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and cheese. Use a fork to gently distribute the ingredients and ensure they are evenly incorporated.
  7. Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
