Ingredients

• 10 oz fresh spinach
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.125 tsp nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan lightly with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Once cooled, press the spinach with a paper towel or clean dish towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until fully combined.

Step 5

Stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and the cooked spinach. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center—it should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy!
