Ingredients You’ll Need
🧂 Pantry & Dairy:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
🧅 Vegetables:
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 cups fresh spinach, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray or a little olive oil.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
Sauté the onion until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes, just until fragrant.
3. Wilt the Spinach
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 3–4 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Mix the Custard
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, Swiss cheese, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
5. Combine and Pour
Stir the spinach mixture into the egg mixture.
Pour everything into the greased pie dish and smooth out the top.
6. Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
7. Cool and Serve
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
