This Ricotta Spinach Quiche combines the richness of ricotta cheese with the earthiness of spinach, creating a mouthwatering dish that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s quick to make and always a hit with guests. 😋
🛒 Ingredients:
1 pre-made pie crust
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
🍴 Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling:
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Add the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together until smooth.
Add the chopped spinach to the mixture, and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything until evenly distributed.
3. Assemble the Quiche:
Place the pre-made pie crust in a pie dish and pour the quiche filling into the crust. Spread it out evenly.
4. Bake the Quiche:
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set, and the top is lightly golden.
You can check if it’s done by inserting a knife into the center — it should come out clean.
5. Cool and Serve:
Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the quiche set properly and makes for easier slicing.
🍴 Serve and Enjoy!
