Description
A delightful and savory Spinach Feta Quiche featuring a flaky pie crust filled with sautéed spinach, onions, and a rich custard made from eggs, half & half, and a blend of feta and cheddar cheeses.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 9-inch pie dough (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup half & half
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Gently press the pie dough into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming any excess edges. Set the crust aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half & half, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
- Sprinkle half of the feta cheese and some of the shredded cheddar evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Layer the spinach and onion mixture on top evenly.
- Pour the egg mixture over the spinach layer, allowing it to settle throughout. Top with the remaining feta and shredded cheddar cheeses.
- Place the pie plate on a baking sheet to catch drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the center is set and lightly golden; a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow the quiche to rest for 10 minutes to firm up. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
