- Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the fresh spinach (or thawed and drained frozen spinach) to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and any excess moisture has evaporated. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Make the Quiche Filling:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), dried thyme (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Add the cooked spinach mixture into the egg mixture and stir to combine.
4. Assemble and Bake the Quiche:
- Pour the spinach and egg mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
- Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly.
- Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Serve:
- Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. You can also refrigerate any leftovers and reheat them later.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add crumbled bacon or cooked sausage to the spinach mixture.
- You can use different cheeses, like Gruyère, feta, or goat cheese, depending on your taste preference.
- If using frozen spinach, make sure to squeeze out all excess moisture to avoid a soggy quiche.
Enjoy your Spinach Quiche, a savory and satisfying dish!
