How to Make an Easy Spinach Quiche

Who says quiche is out of style? This recipe will help you make a nutritious and delicious dinner with almost no work whatsoever. Read on to learn how to make an easy spinach quiche.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 frozen 9-inch pie crust
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup cream (or replace milk and cream with 1 full cup whole milk for less fat)
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. salt
• Fresh nutmeg, to taste
• 1/2 package frozen spinach, thawed and cooked
• 1/2 cup grated cheese (provolone or Swiss work great)
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Whisk the milk, cream, eggs, salt and nutmeg in the bowl.

3. Arrange the spinach and cheese evenly along the bottom of the pie crust. Take care not to overfill the crust.

4. Pour the milk mixture over the spinach and cheese. Again, be careful not to overfill the crust. You may have a bit of mixture left over. The eggs will expand when baked.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes until the mixture is firm, but gives way to the touch, like set gelatin.

6. Cool for 15 minutes, slice and enjoy.

Tips & Warnings

• Using 1 cup of milk instead of milk and cream may lower the fat content, but detracts a bit from the flavor. Try the recipe both ways to determine what works best for you.
• If desired, add about 3 oz. of cooked ham to the spinach and cheese before pouring the milk and cream mixture into the crust.

on 6/12/2009 I love quiche! Maybe I'll experiment with yours to see about the calorie intake. I know store-bought is expensive and high in calories (and sort of tasteless). Yours sounds amazingly simple!
