Ingredients

  • 1 refrigerated pie crust
  • 250 g (1 cup) ricotta cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely diced

  2. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch quiche or tart pan and lightly prick the bottom with a fork.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 3–4 minutes until soft.

  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Stir in the spinach and onion mixture.
  7. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly.

  10. Serve warm with a fresh green salad.

Tips
