Easy Spinach Gouda Quiche
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 deep dish 9 inch pie crust I buy a pre-made frozen pie crust
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded gouda
- 5 oz frozen chopped spinach, unthawed & drained
- 1/4 tsp salt
- dash of pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Bake pie crust for 10-12 min.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl mix together eggs, milk, cheese, spinach, salt & pepper.
- After crust has baked, remove from oven and add egg mixture.
- Return to oven and bake 55-60 min until middle is done.
Notes
- Pie Crust: If using frozen, be sure to unthaw (If you forget like me, you could pop it in the oven while it preheats for a minute). You could also use regular crust instead of deep dish if you can't find. You just might not fit the whole mix in so you could cut the recipe back as needed.
- Cheese: I buy a bag of already shredded gouda. You could also substitute for other cheeses (mozzarella, I think a smoked gouda would be great,...)
- Spinach: Be sure to drain the excess liquid from the spinach, otherwise your crust will get soggy. You could squeeze the excess liquid out using a cheese cloth if you want to go the extra mile. I've never spent the time to do this.
