Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
Vegetables
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy. This creates a light texture in the quiche.
- Add Cheese and Spinach: Stir in the shredded cheese and chopped fresh spinach into the egg mixture, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the egg mixture into a greased pie dish or oven-safe baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is puffed up, set, and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This resting period helps it set further and makes serving easier.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh spinach with frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw and drain excess water before adding.
- Feel free to add herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.
- This quiche freezes well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Add cooked bacon or mushrooms for a non-vegetarian option.
