Classic Spinach Quiche is a savory, versatile dish perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, featuring a buttery crust and a creamy egg filling loaded with spinach and cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (or 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Swiss, Gruyère, or cheddar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
  3. Blind-bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and garlic until soft.
  5. Add spinach and cook until moisture evaporates. Remove from heat.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  7. Spread the spinach mixture evenly in the pre-baked crust, then top with shredded cheese.
  8. Pour the egg mixture over the filling.
  9. Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the center is set and top is golden brown.
  10. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Can be served warm or cold.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freezes well—slice and wrap individually before freezing.
  • For a crustless version, grease the pie dish and bake without crust.
  • Substitute kale, arugula, or mushrooms for variation.
