Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour in the milk and continue whisking to create a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Add salt and pepper to the egg mixture, stirring to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Prepare the filling ingredients: Chop the fresh spinach, crumble the cooked sausage, and dice the sundried tomatoes into small pieces.
- Add the chopped spinach, crumbled sausage, and sundried tomatoes to the egg mixture, stirring gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture and fold in gently to combine all ingredients.
- Pour the entire mixture into the prepared pie dish, ensuring ingredients are evenly spread.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow the quiche to set properly.
- Slice into 6 equal wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Whisk your eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which helps create a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Use room temperature eggs for more even mixing and better rising.
- Don't overmix when adding fillings – gently fold to keep the mixture light.
- For extra flavor, consider using a mix of cheeses like sharp cheddar and gruyère.
- Let the quiche rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make slicing easier.
- For a crispy top, sprinkle a little extra cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Make sure your sausage is well-cooked and crumbled before adding to the mixture.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, replace sausage with mushrooms or bell peppers.
- Use a non-stick pie dish or generously grease your baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the oven to maintain the quiche's texture.
