Ingredients

• 1 piece store-bought pie crust
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 0.33 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
• 0.75 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 0.25 cup black olives (sliced)
• 0.25 cup red onion (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the store-bought pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess dough and crimp the edges for a decorative border. Use a fork to prick small holes in the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.

Step 3

Place the crust in the oven and prebake for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium skillet, sauté the fresh spinach over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and blot with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Evenly spread the wilted spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, sliced black olives, and finely chopped red onion over the prebaked pie crust.

Step 7

Pour the whisked egg and cream mixture over the layered ingredients, ensuring everything is evenly covered.

Step 8

Place the assembled quiche in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. You can check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set further and makes slicing easier.

Step 10

Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with a green salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
