Scale
Crust

Filling
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even baking of the quiche.
- Prepare the crust: Place the pie crust into a baking dish and gently press it to fit snugly along the bottom and sides of the dish.
- Mix eggs and milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add filling ingredients: Stir in the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, diced onion, salt, and black pepper into the egg and milk mixture until evenly distributed.
- Fill the crust: Pour the prepared filling mixture evenly into the pie crust, spreading it out for uniform thickness.
- Bake the quiche: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Bake until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure to chop the spinach finely so it cooks evenly within the quiche.
- You can substitute milk with half-and-half or cream for a richer texture.
- Feel free to add herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before cutting to prevent it from falling apart.
- You can use pre-shredded cheese or crumble your own feta for freshness.
