Equipment

  • 1 pie dish (9-inch)
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 frying pan
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pie crust store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped (about 30 grams)
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese (about 250 grams)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 100 grams)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (about 240 ml)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 25 grams)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • If using a store-bought pie crust, fit it into the 9-inch pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling. If making homemade, roll out the dough and place it in the dish.
  • Place the pie crust in the oven for about 10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
  • While the crust is baking, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  • Add the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, sautéed spinach, and Parmesan cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Pour the spinach and cheese mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
