Quiche Florentine
Quiche Florentine is a fancy way of saying spinach quiche and let me tell you - it's a fancy way of saying delicious! I'm normally a meat and cheese girl when it comes to quiche but this delicate dish with sautéed spinach and onions on top of Swiss cheese won me over!
Ingredients
- 1 frozen pie crust (reco Marie Callender's)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 onion, small dice
- 3 cups roughly chopped spinach
- 1 cup cubed Gruyere or Swiss cheese
- 4-5 eggs 5 if they're small
- 1 1/2 cups half and half
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Remove pie crust from freezer
- Heat butter over medium heat in a saute pan
- Saute onions until softened and translucent (3-4 min)
- Add chopped spinach and toss quickly about 30 seconds. When spinach is wilted, remove from heat
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, salt and pepper
- In pie crust, spread diced cheese across the bottom of the crust
- Top cheese with veggies and finally pour over egg mixture
- Place quiche on a rimmed baking pan and carefully place in oven
- Bake at 350 or 40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or there's just a SLIGHT jiggle
- Let quiche cool for 10 minutes before serving
Notes
- If you don't have half and half - you can use a 50/50 combo of heavy cream and regular milk. I wouldn't advise using straight milk.
- Use 5 eggs if they're small, 4 if you have XL. This should be far more "milky" than scrambled eggs
