A delicious and savory ricotta spinach quiche featuring a creamy blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses combined with fresh sautéed spinach in a flaky pre-made pie crust. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made pie crust

Filling

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch quiche or pie dish and set it aside while preparing the filling.
  2. Sauté the spinach: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow the spinach to cool completely.
  3. Prepare the filling mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine spinach with filling: Stir the cooled spinach into the egg and cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly incorporated throughout.
  5. Fill the crust: Pour the combined filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly for uniform cooking.
  6. Bake the quiche: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set, slightly puffed, and golden brown on top. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center, which should come out clean.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • This quiche can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator, making it perfect for meal prep.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk.
  • Fresh spinach can be replaced with frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw and thoroughly drain excess liquid before using.
  • Add chopped onions or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture if desired.
  • To ensure a flaky crust, you can blind bake the pie crust for 8-10 minutes before adding the filling.
