Delicious Quiche Florentine Recipe [Spinach Quiche]
The Quiche is a form of French tart that has a creamy egg custard filling. It can have fillings of onions, vegetables, and an assortment of cheeses folded into it. It's remarkably simple to prepare and tastes sumptuous.
Equipment
- One 9 inches deep dish pie shell
- Foil
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup milk
- 4 eggs
- 8 ounces of Gruyere cheese
- 4 cups of fresh spinach
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 medium onion (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Place the pie crust in a deep dish. Make sure to perforate it with a fork at regular intervals so that it does not expand.
- Place the spinach and onion mixture evenly at the bottom of the crust.
- Add shredded Gruyere cheese generously on top.
- Pour the custard mixture slowly inside the pie crust over the layer of spinach and cheese.
- Cover the pie dish with foil and bake it for 50 minutes. At this point, the middle would be just a little softer than the outer edges.
- Then, remove the foil and bake it again for 10 minutes until you get a golden and crispy crust. It will tighten up a little more as it starts cooling.
Notes
The Quiche Florentine, made predominantly with spinach and cheese, is a great vegetarian option for those who might not eat meat due to dietary restrictions or personal preferences.
