Easy Spinach Quiche
Description
The recipe assembles a filling by whisking together mayonnaise, milk, eggs, shredded Jack cheese, fresh spinach, kosher salt, and white pepper. The mixture is poured into an unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie crust and baked covered with foil to prevent over-browning, then finished uncovered to brown the top. The result is a firm custard with creamy texture from mayonnaise and milk, balanced by the mild cheese and soft spinach.
The inclusion of mayonnaise adds richness while keeping the quiche moist and tender. Fresh spinach contributes a mild leafy flavor and a touch of color. Seasoning with kosher salt and white pepper creates subtle seasoning without overwhelming the other ingredients.
This quiche is a versatile dish suitable for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner. It can be paired with fresh salad or fruit for a balanced meal. Using a frozen pie shell simplifies preparation and neatly contains the filling during baking.
