🛒 Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half for a richer texture)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained and chopped)
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or 8×8-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the onion for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted.
- Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Eggs
- Milk
- Greek yogurt
- Oregano
- Basil
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Red pepper flakes (if using)
Whisk until smooth.
Step 4: Assemble
Fold the sautéed spinach mixture, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, feta, mozzarella, and Parmesan into the egg mixture.
Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Step 6: Rest & Serve
Allow the quiche to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
💡 Tips for Success
- Drain the sun-dried tomatoes well to avoid excess oil.
- Let the quiche rest before slicing for cleaner pieces.
- Fresh spinach works best, but frozen spinach can be used—just thaw and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the texture tender and creamy.
