Ingredients

• 6 Large eggs
• 1 cup Milk (any type, but whole milk preferred)
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
• 2 cups Baby spinach, fresh
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Dried oregano or Italian seasoning (optional)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or oven-safe baking dish with non-stick spray or a bit of olive oil.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set it aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until smooth. Add the milk, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and oregano (if using). Whisk to combine.

Step 5

Stir the cooked spinach into the egg mixture, making sure it is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the egg and spinach mixture into the prepared pie dish. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes on top, cut side up, ensuring even distribution.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top for an extra layer of flavor and golden crust.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Tomato Spinach Quiche but Not Really a Quiche!
