Ingredients
-
6 large eggs
-
1 cup milk (whole, 2%, or plant-based)
-
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
-
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
-
1 small onion, finely diced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
-
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion for 3–4 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and chopped spinach, cooking for 2–3 minutes until the spinach wilts. Remove from heat.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until slightly frothy.
-
Stir in the sautéed vegetables and crumbled feta until evenly combined.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan if desired.
-
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a knife inserted comes out clean.
-
Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
Notes
-
For frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out excess water to prevent a watery quiche.
-
Customize with other vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini.
-
To make vegan, replace eggs with chickpea flour or silken tofu, and use plant-based milk and cheese alternatives.
-
For a heartier version, add cooked chicken, turkey, or smoked salmon.
-
Avoid overloading with wet ingredients to prevent sogginess.
