Golden Spinach & Ricotta Quiche Delight
🥧 Creamy Spinach & Ricotta Quiche
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
½ tsp salt
3-5 tbsp ice water
(Feel free to use 1 store-bought 9-inch pie crust to save time!)
For the Filling:
1 tbsp olive oil
10 oz (280g) fresh spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced
15 oz (425g) whole milk ricotta cheese
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
⅔ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
Pinch of nutmeg
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
PREPARE CRUST: If making from scratch, combine flour and salt, then cut in the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water 1 tbsp at a time until the dough holds together. Form into a disk, wrap, and chill for 30 mins.
BLIND BAKE: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out your dough and press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Line with parchment paper, fill with pie weights or dried beans, and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment, then bake for another 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Reduce oven temp to 375°F (190°C).
PREPARE SPINACH: While the crust bakes, heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté garlic until fragrant, then add spinach and cook until fully wilted. Transfer to a sieve and press down firmly to squeeze out ALL excess liquid (this is the most important step for a non-soggy quiche!). Roughly chop the spinach.
MIX FILLING: In a bowl, combine the ricotta, eggs, ½ cup of the Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Fold in the dry, chopped spinach until evenly mixed.
ASSEMBLE & BAKE: Pour the filling into your pre-baked crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
BAKE for 35-45 minutes, until the filling is set and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
REST: Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This helps it set for perfect, clean slices. Enjoy!
