  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Bake Time: 30–35 minutes
  • Total Time: ~40–45 minutes

Ingredients List

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup milk or cream
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a pie dish or baking dish.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped red onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft. Add spinach and sauté just until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

    Spread the sautéed spinach and onion evenly in the prepared dish. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything.
  5. Bake
    Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  6. Cool & Serve
    Let the quiche rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired.

Ingredient Tips

Eggs
Use large eggs for the best structure and fluffiness.

Spinach
Fresh spinach gives the best texture. If using frozen, drain very well to avoid excess moisture.

Feta Cheese
Feta adds saltiness and tang. Goat cheese also works beautifully.

Milk or Cream
Milk keeps it lighter. Cream makes it richer and creamier.

Variations & Add-Ins

  • Add mushrooms or zucchini for extra vegetables
  • Use goat cheese or shredded mozzarella instead of feta
  • Add cooked chicken or turkey for extra protein
  • Sprinkle chili flakes for a mild heat

Storage & Make-Ahead

  • Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days
  • Reheat: Microwave or warm in the oven
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Holds texture and flavor well
