Ingredients
  

  • Ricotta cheese – creamy base that adds richness
  • Fresh spinach – earthy greens for flavor and nutrition
  • Eggs – binding agent for a tender texture
  • Pie crust – buttery and flaky foundation
  • Grated cheese Parmesan, mozzarella, or Gruyère – enhances flavor and creates a golden top
  • Seasonings & herbs – salt pepper, nutmeg, fresh dill or parsley for aroma

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place pie crust in a dish, trimming any excess edges.
  • Wilt spinach in a skillet for 2–3 minutes; drain well.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs, ricotta, grated cheese, and seasonings until smooth.
  • Fold spinach into the ricotta mixture.
  • Pour filling into the crust and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and set.
  • Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

ake the crust for 8 minutes to prevent sogginess.
Can substitute frozen spinach (thawed and drained well).
Works great as a crustless quiche for a low-carb version.
