Spinach quiche is a savory, creamy egg custard baked in a flaky pie crust with spinach, cheese, and seasonings. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, it’s easy to make and full of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or feta)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using fresh spinach, sauté in a pan until wilted, then drain excess moisture.
  3. If using onion or garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  5. Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and trim excess edges.
  6. Distribute spinach (and sautéed onion/garlic if using) evenly in the crust.
  7. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the spinach.
  8. Pour the egg mixture over the filling.
  9. Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  10. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes if you want a crispier bottom.Use a mix of cheeses for extra flavor depth.Let the quiche rest before slicing to help it set properly.Great served warm, at room temperature, or cold.
