Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 quarter cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook while stirring until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and all-purpose flour until smooth. Stir in the baking powder, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Step 5
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and the cooked spinach mixture into the egg mixture. Mix until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. To check doneness, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
Step 8
Allow the quiche to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing it into 9 equal squares.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
