Ingredients
  

For the Quiche
  • 4 large eggs the foundation of our quiche, packed with protein and flavor.
  • 1 cup milk or substitute with cream for a richer, velvety texture.
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped fresh spinach enhances the dish's nutritional value; frozen works too if drained well!
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or feta are top picks, but feel free to experiment with your favorite varieties.
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped adds a lovely sweetness when sautéed.
  • 1 clove garlic, minced for that hit of flavor that elevates every bite.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt to season and enhance the flavors of the dish.
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper gives a gentle kick to the quiche.
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg optional, adds a unique twist to the flavor profile.
  • Olive oil or butter for sautéing ensures the onions and garlic are beautifully cooked.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil or a pat of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant. Then, introduce the minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute.
  3. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts down. Stir well to combine.
  4. In a mixing bowl, crack in the 4 large eggs and pour in 1 cup of milk. Whisk together until smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg if using.
  5. Carefully add the sautéed onion, garlic, and spinach mixture to the egg and milk blend, stirring gently to combine. Fold in your choice of shredded cheese.
  6. Lightly grease a pie dish or baking dish with olive oil or butter.
  7. Pour the egg and spinach mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until set in the center and lightly golden on top.
  9. Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
