Ingredients

• 1 store-bought pie crust
• 5 cups fresh spinach
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup diced onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if needed. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Gradually add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.

Step 5

Spread the sautéed spinach and onions evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the spinach and cheese layers, ensuring it fills all gaps.

Step 7

Place the quiche on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Enjoy your Easy Spinach Quiche warm, room temperature, or cold!
