Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup biscuit mix
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or round baking pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Chop the spinach into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the quiche.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are well beaten and slightly frothy. This will help create a light and fluffy texture.
- Add the milk to the beaten eggs and continue whisking to combine thoroughly. The milk will help create a creamy consistency in the quiche.
- Gradually add the biscuit mix to the egg and milk mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Mix until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper into the mixture, stirring to distribute the seasonings evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Fold in the chopped spinach and shredded cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the entire mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. This resting period allows the quiche to set and makes it easier to slice.
- Cut into 6 equal wedges and serve warm. The quiche can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Moisture Matters: Always pat your spinach dry to prevent a watery quiche. Excess moisture can make your dish soggy and less appealing.
- Cheese Selection: Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, feta, or gruyère to customize the flavor profile.
- Even Cooking: Use a light-colored pie dish to help monitor the golden-brown color and prevent over-browning.
- Make Ahead: This quiche freezes beautifully! Wrap tightly and store for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a light side salad or fresh fruit for a complete, balanced meal.
- Customize: Feel free to add diced ham, bacon, or swap spinach with other vegetables like kale or Swiss chard.
