Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the quiche.
Sauté Spinach: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped spinach until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly, ensuring excess moisture evaporates.
Mix Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until fully combined and smooth.
Prepare Pie Crust: Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over the bottom of the pie crust in a pie dish.
Add Cheese Layers: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese followed by the shredded cheese evenly over the spinach layer.
Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the egg and milk mixture over the cheese and spinach, distributing it evenly.
Bake Quiche: Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the middle and has a lightly golden top.
Cool and Serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Be sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the sautéed spinach to prevent a watery quiche.
Use your preferred shredded cheese such as mozzarella, cheddar, or a Mediterranean blend for varied flavor.
Nutmeg adds a subtle warmth and depth to the egg custard; don’t skip it.
Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes to make slicing easier and neater.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed cold or reheated for a quick meal.
