Ingredients
Scale
1 unbaked pie crust
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup (240 ml) cottage cheese
4 large eggs
1 cup (100 g) shredded cheese
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the store-bought pie crust in a pie dish and crimp the edges.
For homemade crust, mix flour, butter, and salt until coarse crumbs form.
Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to the pie dish.
Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Sauté chopped spinach for 3-4 minutes until wilted and tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the spinach cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, beaten eggs, shredded cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the sautéed spinach until evenly distributed.
Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust and spread it evenly.
Bake the quiche for 35-40 minutes until edges are golden brown.
Let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
