Here’s a basic recipe for a Ricotta Spinach Quiche:
Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg or red pepper flakes for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If you’re using a store-bought pie crust, place it into a 9-inch pie dish. If you’re using homemade crust, roll it out and place it into the pie dish.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together ricotta cheese, eggs, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and cooked spinach mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and any optional spices you prefer.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Once done, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy your delicious Ricotta Spinach Quiche!
