Ingredients
For the Quiche Base:
-
1 cup ricotta cheese (whole milk for best texture)
-
6 large eggs
-
¼ cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
¼ tsp onion powder
-
⅛ tsp ground nutmeg (optional, adds depth)
For the Veggies and Add-ins:
-
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
-
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
-
½ cup bell peppers, finely diced (any color)
-
¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
-
½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
-
2 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped
Optional Toppings:
-
A sprinkle of parmesan cheese
-
Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease your pie dish with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables (Optional but Recommended)
In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the spinach, peppers, and onions for 3-4 minutes until softened.
This helps remove excess moisture and intensifies flavor.
Step 3: Whisk the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, ricotta cheese, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutmeg.
Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy – this is key to making the quiche fluffy.
Step 4: Combine & Add to Baking Dish
Fold in the sautéed vegetables, cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
Pour everything into the greased pie dish.
Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly. Top with a sprinkle of parmesan if using.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the quiche is set in the center and the top is slightly golden.
A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
This allows it to firm up and makes slicing easier.
Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
