Ingredients
Scale
- 1 deep dish pie shell (16 oz)
- 1 cup diced chicken
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- ¼ cup sun dried tomatoes, diced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Fit parchment in the pie crust and fill with dried beans. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F.
- In a medium bowl, combine eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk or blend until fully combined.
- Chop spinach roughly and layer it at the bottom of the pie crust. Add chicken, sun dried tomatoes, green onions, and cheese on top of the spinach.
- Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients. Place the quiche on a baking sheet and bake for 45-55 minutes until just set in the center.
- Allow the quiche to sit for 20 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For a crispier crust, consider par-baking the pie shell longer if needed.
Feel free to add your favorite vegetables or herbs to customize the quiche according to your taste.
