This classic spinach quiche recipe has a buttery, flaky crust, a generous amount of frozen spinach, onion, peppers, and a rich custard egg filling with cheese.

Categories     Easter     Mother's Day     spring     breakfast     brunch     eggs

Time 2h

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 refrigerated pie crust (from a 14-oz. box)
2 tbsp. butter
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
4 large eggs
1 1/4 c. half-and-half
1/2 c. sour cream
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1 10-oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 c. finely shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375° with a baking sheet on the center rack. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate (about 1-inch deep). Fold the edges of the crust under and crimp as desired. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium skillet. Add the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring now and then, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 2 minute. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, sour cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in the spinach, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, and bell pepper mixture. Pour into the prepared crust.
  • Place the quiche on the preheated baking sheet and bake until it has puffed in the center, is just set and the crust is golden, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer the quiche to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or room temperature.

Tips for Making the Perfect Rice Crust Spinach Quiche:

  • Use day-old rice. This will help the crust to be more firm and less likely to fall apart.
  • Press the rice firmly into the pie plate. This will help to create a solid crust.
  • Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use fresh spinach. This will give the quiche the best flavor.
  • Wilt the spinach before adding it to the quiche. This will help to remove excess moisture.
  • Season the quiche well. This will help to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is set. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will help the quiche to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

The rice crust spinach quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The rice crust is a great way to use up leftover rice, and the spinach filling is packed with nutrients. This quiche is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
