Description
A savory, flaky spinach feta quiche made with creamy eggs, tangy feta, and tender spinach perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.
Ingredients
1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
4 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. If using a raw pie crust, place it in a 9-inch pie dish and pre-bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
4. Add spinach and cook until wilted, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
6. Stir in feta, mozzarella, and the cooked spinach mixture.
7. Pour filling into the pre-baked crust and spread evenly.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and lightly golden.
9. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can use frozen spinach — just thaw and squeeze out excess water.
Add sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers for a flavor boost.
Serve with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
