Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously butter your pie dish or baking dish. Set it aside.
  2. Take your thawed frozen spinach and place it in the center of a clean kitchen towel. Gather the corners of the towel and twist them tightly over the sink. Squeeze until no more water drips out.
  3. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil or a pat of butter. Add the finely diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, crack the 8 eggs. Add the whole milk, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Whisk vigorously for about 1 minute, until the mixture is frothy and well-combined.
  5. Add the squeezed spinach, sautéed onion and garlic, crumbled feta, and shredded mozzarella to the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until everything is evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Use the spatula to gently spread the fillings into an even layer. Tap the dish on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
  7. Place the dish on the middle rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is just set. The quiche should be puffed up and golden brown on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent it with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  8. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Dry spinach is crucial to avoid a watery quiche. Room temperature eggs whisk up fluffier. Don’t overbake; the center should have a slight jiggle when done. Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow it to set properly.
