Ricotta Spinach Quiche Delight 🥬🧀🥧

  Creamy, cheesy, and packed with fresh spinach, this quiche is perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner!

Ingredients:

(Serves 6–8)

• 1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

• 1 cup ricotta  cheese

• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (about 1 small bunch)

• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 3 large eggs

• ½ cup heavy cream

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for extra flavor)
  

  Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Crust

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • If using a frozen pie crust, let it thaw slightly before baking.

  • Place the crust in a 9-inch pie dish (if not already in one).

  • Prick the bottom lightly with a fork to prevent air bubbles.

  • Optional: Blind-bake the crust for 5–7 minutes for extra crispiness (cover with parchment paper and pie weights or dried beans).

  2. Prepare the Filling

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg (if using).

  • Stir in the ricotta  cheese until well combined.

  • Fold in the chopped spinach and shredded mozzarella.

  3. Assemble & Bake

  • Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.

  • Smooth the top with a spatula.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

  4. Cool & Serve

  • Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

  Tips & Variations:

   Add-ins: Try sautéed mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, or crispy bacon.
   Make it crustless: Skip the crust for a low-carb version (grease the pan well).
   Storage: Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
