Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 6 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust and press it gently into a 9-inch pie or tart pan. Trim any excess and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked spinach, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix gently to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Place the quiche on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your ricotta spinach quiche warm, or refrigerate and serve chilled later.
