Ingredients

• 6 cups fresh spinach
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium, finely diced yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 5 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 cup, shredded Gruyère cheese
• 0.25 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 6 halved (optional garnish) cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil or cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until it becomes soft and translucent, about 4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until evenly combined.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese and grated Parmesan. Mix thoroughly.

Step 7

Gently fold the spinach mixture into the egg and cheese mixture, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Garnish the top with halved cherry tomatoes, cut-side up, for a pop of color (optional).

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.

Step 10

Remove from oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with a simple green salad or crusty bread if desired.
