Ingredients

• 1 9-inch crust pre-made pie crust
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cups baby spinach
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. If the crust comes with instructions for pre-baking, follow those instructions; otherwise, prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

Step 6

Stir the shredded cheese and the sautéed spinach mixture into the egg mixture.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
