Spinach and Ricotta Quiche
Ingredients List
-
1 (9 inch) pastry for single-crust pie
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
⅓ cup finely chopped red onion
-
1 (8 ounce) package fresh spinach
-
¾ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
-
¾ cup heavy cream
-
⅓ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
-
4 large eggs
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Fit the pie pastry into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan and prick the bottom all over with a fork.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool until needed.
While the crust is cooling, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the spinach and cook until it begins to wilt, about 1 minute. Cover and cook until condensation forms inside the skillet, about 1 minute. Remove the lid, stir, and turn off the heat.
In a blender or food processor, combine ricotta, cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano, eggs, basil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Evenly distribute the spinach mixture over the crust, then pour the ricotta and egg mixture on top.
Bake in the preheated oven until the center is set and the top is lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Allow the quiche to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
