Make this savory breakfast quiche with a flaky crust and creamy filling. It is a perfect main dish for a festive brunch and you can prepare it ahead of time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made 9-inch pie crust (or your favorite easy pie crust recipe)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Cook until all the moisture has evaporated, stirring often. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  5. Spread the cooked spinach and onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the spinach layer.
  6. Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the spinach and cheese.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the quiche cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can assemble the entire quiche, unbaked, up to 24 hours in advance. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the heavy cream with half-and-half.
  • This recipe works well for Mother’s Day brunch or any special gathering.
