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. Line the pie crust with parchment and fill with dried beans. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool. Reduce the temperature to 350˚F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Chop the spinach and layer it at the bottom of the cooled pie crust. Add the chicken, sun dried tomatoes, green onions, and cheese on top.
- Pour the egg mixture over the layers and place the quiche on a baking sheet. Bake for 45-55 minutes until the center is just set.
- Allow the quiche to sit for 20 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Pre-baking the crust helps maintain its texture and prevent sogginess.
Avoid poking holes in the crust to prevent leakage during baking.
Letting the quiche sit before slicing enhances its flavors.
