Spinach Ricotta Quiche

Spinach Ricotta Quiche features a par-baked deep dish pie crust filled with a mixture of eggs, chopped spinach, milk, parmesan, basil, and seasonings. Dollops of ricotta and shredded mozzarella are layered on top along with grape tomatoes. Baking until set creates a creamy, custardy quiche with bursts of fresh tomato and herbaceous spinach.

Ingredients

  • DOUGH 9-inch, deep dish pie crust, refrigerated, for 1
  • 7 egg beaten, large
  • 2 cups spinach 1 1/2 ounces, fresh baby, chopped
  • 2/3 cup milk skim
  • 6 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 3 tablespoons basil chopped, fresh
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese part skim
  • 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese part skim, shredded
  • 3/4 cups grape tomatoes halved, or cherry tomatoes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
  2. Roll the dough out on a well-floured work surface until it’s approximately 11 to 12-inches in diameter.
  3. Transfer it to a 9-inch metal or glass pie dish. Using your fingers, press it firmly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Trim off any excess, leaving about 1/2-inch overhanging. Then fold/crimp the overhanging dough.
  4. Prick the bottom of the pie crust with the tines of a fork. Transfer the pie crust to your pre-heated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until par-baked.
  5. Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl combine eggs with spinach, milk, 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, basil and salt; mix well.
  6. Pour mixture into the par-baked pie crust.
  7. In a small bowl combine ricotta with mozzarella and remaining parmesan.
  8. Dollop the ricotta all around and top and place tomatoes around the cheese.
  9. Place foil on the edges of the crust to prevent them from burning.
  10. Place quiche on cookie sheet and bake on the middle oven rack for 50 to 55 minutes, or until top is browned and a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool before serving.
