Ingredients
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 oz fresh spinach, chopped
4 large eggs
1 cup milk (or half-and-half for creamier texture)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded Swiss or Gruyère cheese
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp dried oregano (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess, crimp edges, prick the bottom with a fork, and pre-bake for 10 minutes. Set aside.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and oregano (if using).
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the pre-baked crust. Spread the spinach mixture evenly over the cheese, then top with crumbled feta.
- Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and cheese, ensuring even distribution. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
