Description
A creamy, savory quiche with tender spinach and melted cheddar baked in a flaky crust. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner, this easy recipe delivers rich flavor and a silky texture in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Stir in the chopped fresh spinach and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
- Place the unbaked 9 inch pie crust into a pie dish, pressing gently to fit if needed.
- Pour the egg mixture carefully into the crust, spreading the spinach and cheese evenly.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly soft when gently shaken.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Sauté spinach briefly if it contains excess moisture to prevent a soggy filling.
- If crust edges brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil.
- Let the quiche rest before slicing for cleaner cuts and better texture.
