Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
• 4 cups Fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 1 small Onion (finely diced)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using a pre-made pie crust, gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish. If making homemade pie crust, roll it out and fit it into the pie dish, trimming any excess. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 7

Spread the cooked spinach and onion mixture over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the spinach, making sure it fills the pie evenly.

Step 9

Top with the remaining shredded cheese.

Step 10

Place the quiche on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the quiche rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
