Scale
- 1 premade pie dough
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups frozen spinach
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 5 eggs
- 1 small sweet onion, peeled and chopped
- 2 - 4 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
Instructions
Prepare the Pie Crust
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Remove the packaging from the pie dough, and place it into a pie dish. Using a fork, prick the pie dough 7 to 8 times. (This will prevent your dough from bubbling up).
- Bake the dough for 5-10 minutes, allowing the dough to thaw, but not cooking all the way through.
- Remove the pie dough from the oven and let cool on a heat-safe surface.
- Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Create Quiche Filling
- In a large frying pan, pour in your olive oil. Add your onions and sauté until fragrant and tender.
- Add your frozen spinach, and sauté with your onions until heated and no water is in your pan. Set the pan aside to cool.
Prepare Eggs
- In a large mixing bowl, add your eggs and beat well with an electric mixer or whisk.
- Add your whole milk and continue to beat until well combined. Add your salt and nutmeg.
- Mix one more time to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Assemble Quiche
- In your cooled pie crust, sprinkle your Swiss cheese at the bottom of the pie crust.
- Add your spinach and onion mixture on top of your Swiss cheese.
- Pour your egg mixture on top of the Spinach and Swiss cheese.
Bake
- Place a heat-safe pan in your oven in case of spills. Place your quiche on top of the pan.
- Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean when checking the middle.
- Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
