Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry)
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (or homemade)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped and sautéed (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ricotta, Parmesan, eggs, milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Stir in the chopped spinach, sautéed onion, and mozzarella (if using).
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  6. Allow the quiche to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Be sure to squeeze excess moisture from spinach to avoid watery texture.
  • No need to blind-bake the crust, but it can improve crispness.
  • Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing for clean cuts.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated, making it perfect for meal prep or gatherings.
