🛒 INGREDIENTS

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (or a plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk)
• ½ cup crumbled goat cheese
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• A pinch of nutmeg

👩🍳 PREPARATION

1. Prepare your base: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a pie dish or a similar round baking dish. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and brown the sliced onions until they are soft and golden.
2. Wilt the spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the onions and cook for just a minute or two, until it has wilted. Transfer this mixture to your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
3. Whisk the custard: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until they are well combined. Season with a pinch of salt, a crack of fresh black pepper, and a little nutmeg.
4. Assemble and bake: Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and onions in the baking dish. Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

💡 Vitalicious Tip:
To ensure your quiche isn’t watery, squeeze any excess moisture out of the spinach after you cook it and before adding it to the baking dish. A dry spinach base makes for a perfectly set quiche.
