- 1 pre-made or homemade pie crust
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese

- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare the pie crust in a quiche mold, pricking the base with a fork.
Pre-bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes.

Stir in the cooked spinach mixture into the egg and cheese mixture.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust and smooth it out.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden and the center feels firm.
Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
This quiche can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months; reheat in the oven for best results.
