Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spinach and Swiss Cheese Quiche.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
To ensure your pie shell bakes perfectly without bubbling, take a fork and gently prick the bottom.
Step 3
Once that’s done, place the pie shell in the oven and let it bake for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until it turns a lovely light golden color.
Step 4
When it’s ready, carefully remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool while you prepare the filling.
Step 5
Now, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to get it just right for the quiche.
Step 6
Next, grab a small pot and bring some water to a boil.
Step 7
Toss in the frozen spinach and let it cook for about 5 minutes, until it’s heated through and a vibrant dark green.
Step 8
After cooking, drain the spinach well and let it cool down a bit.
Step 9
Meanwhile, take a resealable bag and add the diced Swiss cheese along with a sprinkle of flour.
Step 10
Seal the bag tightly and give it a good shake until the cheese is nicely coated with flour—this will help it stay evenly distributed in your quiche.
Step 11
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together some nonfat milk, eggs, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg until everything is well combined and smooth.
Step 12
Gently fold in the cooled spinach and the flour-coated Swiss cheese, making sure they’re evenly mixed.
Step 13
Now, pour this delicious mixture into your cooled pie shell, spreading it out evenly.
Step 14
Pop the quiche into the oven and let it bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set and a little jiggle remains.
Step 15
Once it’s done, take it out and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into it.
Step 16
The aroma will be irresistible, and you’ll be ready to serve up a slice of this delightful quiche that’s sure to impress your family and friends! Enjoy every bite!.
