Ingredients

• 1 piece Frozen pie crust (9-inch, premade)
• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 piece Shallot, finely chopped
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1.5 cups Gouda cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a frozen pie crust, allow it to thaw according to package instructions.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set the spinach mixture aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, ground nutmeg, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Evenly spread the cooled spinach and shallot mixture over the bottom of the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded Gouda cheese over the spinach layer.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and cheese, making sure it fills the crust evenly.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the baking sheet with the quiche to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Brunch Quiche of Spinach and Gouda!
