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. Place parchment in the crust and fill it with dried beans. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Reduce oven temperature to 350˚F.
- In a medium bowl, combine eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper. Beat until well mixed.
- Chop the spinach and place it in the bottom of the pie crust. Layer 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 the center is just set.
- Allow to sit for 20 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Do not poke holes in the crust to prevent leaks during baking.
Weighting the crust with beans ensures it doesn’t bubble up.
Letting the quiche cool for a bit enhances its flavor.
