🛒 Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for the filling (serves 6–8):

• 200 g (7 oz) fresh spinach (or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 4 large eggs

• 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream

• ½ cup (120 ml) milk

• 1 cup (100 g) grated cheese (Gruyère, cheddar, or mozzarella – your choice!)

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• Olive oil or butter, for sautéing

🧀 Gruyère gives this quiche a luxurious depth, but cheddar or mozzarella work wonderfully too!

🥧 Optional Crust (Store-Bought or Homemade)

You can use:

• A store-bought pie crust for convenience

• A homemade buttery crust for extra richness

• Or go crustless for a low-carb, gluten-free version!

Tip: Blind bake the crust at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes before adding the filling to prevent sogginess.

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Sauté the Veggies

In a skillet over medium heat:

• Add a drizzle of olive oil or a bit of butter.

• Sauté the chopped onion for 2–3 minutes until translucent.

• Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

• Add the spinach and cook until wilted (if using fresh) or warmed through (if using frozen).

🌿 Drain any excess liquid to keep your quiche from getting watery.

3. Whisk the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl:

• Whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk.

• Stir in the grated cheese, a pinch of salt, and some cracked black pepper.

4. Combine & Fill

• Add the spinach mixture into the egg mixture and stir to combine.

• Pour everything into your prepared pie crust (or a greased pie dish if going crustless).

5. Bake the Quiche

• Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the quiche is puffed, lightly golden, and set in the center.

• Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing for the best texture.
