Description
A creamy, nutritious dish made with fresh spinach and ricotta cheese perfect for a light meal or snack, without the hassle of a crust!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or your preference)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with olive oil or nonstick spray.
- Sauté the Spinach: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the Spinach: Once the spinach has cooled slightly, fold it gently into the ricotta mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Assemble the Quiche: Pour the filling into the prepared pie dish, smoothing the surface for even baking.
- Bake: Place the dish on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm or at room temperature.
