Ingredients:
- 10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
- 10 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan.
Sauté Spinach: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess liquid.
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Stir in the spinach and feta cheese.
Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared pie pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set.
Serve: Let cool slightly before serving.
Tips and Variations:
1. Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a milder flavor and better texture than frozen spinach. Simply chop it up and add it to the egg mixture.
2. Don’t overmix: Mix the egg mixture just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense quiche.
3. Add some heat: Spice up the quiche with some diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
4. Make it a meal prep solution: Prepare the egg mixture ahead of time and refrigerate or freeze for later use.
