Ingredients
1 refrigerated pie crust
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 ounces fresh spinach
6 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the chopped onion for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, then remove from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
6. Spread the spinach and onion mixture into the pie crust and sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over the top.
7. Pour the egg mixture into the crust over the spinach and feta.
8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
9. Let the quiche rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Be sure to cook off any extra moisture from the spinach before adding it to the filling, or the quiche can turn watery and keep the center from setting properly.
