  • 2 Cups Onion, chopped Sweet and savory, onions add depth to your quiche.
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced Fresh garlic enhances the dish with aromatic richness.
  • 10 Ounces Spinach, fresh Leafy and nutrient-dense, fresh spinach provides vibrant color and health benefits.
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients.
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes Adds a gentle heat, elevating the flavor profile.

Egg Base

  • 6 Large Eggs The base of the quiche, creating that fluffy texture when baked.

  • 1 1/2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella Melty mozzarella adds a delightful stretch and savory finish.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the fresh spinach, kosher salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and cook until the spinach is wilted, around 2-3 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the large eggs and heavy cream until fully combined to make a light and fluffy base.
  • Pour the cooked spinach mixture into the egg and cream mixture, adding the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  • Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil. Pour the spinach and egg mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.

Cooking

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the quiche for 25-30 minutes, or until set in the center and golden brown on top.
  • Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing for easier serving.

Notes

Customize your quiche with different vegetables, cheeses, and spice levels. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
