SPINACH RICOTTA QUICHE RECIPE DEMO
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust of your choice (homemade, gluten-free, etc.)
- 2 (10-ounce) packages organic frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 1/2 tsp. Celtic sea salt
- Dash of pepper
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 2 cups fresh ricotta cheese
- 1 cup cream or half-and-half
- 1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese
- 3 pastured eggs
INSTRUCTIONS:
- The first thing we want to do is get our quiche crust ready to accept all our ingredients. Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake pie crust for 5 minutes; remove to a cooling rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F so that it will be ready for our spinach ricotta quiche when we've got it ready to bake..
- Next we want to get our filling ready to go. We're going to start by sautéing our veggies and spices. Sauté onions in butter until translucent; stir in spinach, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.
- Now we want to add the bulk of the quiche and get it ready for baking. Add ricotta, parmesan, cream, and eggs to spinach mixture; stir to combine. Once these are well combined, we're ready to add them to our already baked pie shell.Pour into pre-baked pie shell.
- Finally, we get to the good part. It's time to bake our spinach ricotta quiche.Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes, until filling is set and slightly browned. We want it to have a slight jiggle, but not to be wet.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
