Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish or baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons.
  • Skillet or sauté pan
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Oven
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat the oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  • Step 2: Cook the vegetables
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3–4 minutes until soft and slightly translucent.
  • Next, add the fresh spinach. Stir gently until the spinach wilts and most of the moisture cooks away. This step helps prevent the quiche from becoming watery.
  • Remove the pan from heat and allow the vegetables to cool slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the egg mixture

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, and milk until smooth.
  • Add the salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Nutmeg may seem like a tiny addition, but it brings a subtle warmth that enhances the creamy custard flavor.

Step 4: Combine ingredients

  • Spread the spinach and onion mixture evenly across the greased baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère and grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables.
  • Slowly pour the egg mixture on top so everything is evenly covered.

Step 5: Bake

  • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes.
  • The quiche is ready when the edges are lightly golden and the center is just set. A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean.

Step 6: Cool and serve

  • Allow the quiche to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the custard firm up slightly and makes slicing easier.
  • Serve warm and enjoy.
