Introduction

A slice of spinach quiche sits on a white speckled plate with a silver fork resting in front of it. The quiche has a golden crust that forms the bottom and edges, enclosing three distinct layers inside. The bottom layer is dense and creamy with light beige color mixed with dark green spinach leaves. The middle layer is thicker with more evenly mixed spinach and cheese, creating a textured green and creamy white look. The top layer is a slightly golden baked cheese and spinach mix with a rough surface showing melted cheese strands and leafy greens. In the background, there is a blurred white bowl with more quiche and a dark cloth, all arranged on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 refrigerated pie crust (or homemade)
3 tablespoons olive oil

⅔ cup yellow onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced

20 ounces spinach, stems removed and chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

3 tablespoons dried dill
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese

1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

3 large eggs, beaten

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9-inch pie dish with the refrigerated pie crust and place it in the refrigerator to keep chilled while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced onion and sauté until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the spinach and garlic, cooking until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the parsley, dried dill, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and beaten eggs until well combined.
Step 4: Add the cooked spinach and onion mixture to the bowl and mix thoroughly to combine evenly.
Step 5: Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and pour the spinach filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
Step 7: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flakiness, brush the pie crust edge with an egg wash before baking.

Substitute fresh dill for dried if available, adjusting quantity to taste.
Add chopped artichoke hearts or mushrooms for extra texture and flavor.
Use homemade pie crust for a more personalized touch and fresher taste.

Storage

Store leftover spinach pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm slices in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispness. Spinach pie can also be frozen; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

How to Serve

A round spinach quiche with a golden brown crust sits in a white ceramic dish with wavy edges. The quiche has two main visible layers: the outer crust which is smooth, firm, and lightly browned, and the filling, which is a mix of chopped dark green spinach and creamy, slightly bubbly pale yellow cheese and egg mixture, creating a marbled texture. The quiche is whole, with no slices taken out. It is placed on a white marbled surface with scattered grated cheese and two wedges of hard cheese nearby, along with fresh spinach leaves around the dish. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
