Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup gruyere cheese shredded
- ¾ cup baby spinach
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp sea salt
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Add pie crust to pie plate and crimp the edges. Gently pierce with a fork several times.
- Bake pie crust for 10 minutes. Then, remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, add the 5 eggs. Whisk.
- Then, add in milk, pepper and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Once the pie crust has cooled, place almost all of cheese into the pie crust. Reserve some shredded cheese for the top of the quiche.
- Then, wash and dry spinach. Spread spinach leaves on top of the cheese.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture down into the pie crust. Add the remaining shredded cheese on top.
- Bake quiche for 35 to 40 minutes or until the quiche is no longer jiggly in the center. The crust should be golden brown.
- Finally, remove from oven. Serve hot and fresh!
Notes
- Feel free to use a store bought or homemade pie crust.
- Both gluten free and regular pie crust work well.
- The gruyere cheese gives this quiche the classic Florentine flavor. If you really need to, substitute with another shredded cheese.
- Blind bake the pie crust (baking it without filling). This allows the pie crust to get fully cooked.
- Be sure to wash and completely dry baby spinach.
- If desired, add mushrooms to this quiche.
- Be careful not to pour the egg filling up over the edges of the pie crust. If the egg filling is higher than the pie crust, the filling will overtake the crust.
- Serve hot and fresh.
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days covered.
