Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups fresh spinach chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare your baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a pan over medium heat, cook the spinach until wilted and all the moisture has evaporated. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the shredded cheddar and season with salt and pepper.
- Gently fold the sautéed spinach into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps the quiche set and makes slicing easier.
- Cool completely before wrapping in plastic wrap and storing in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat individual slices in a preheated oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.
