Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
⅓ cup finely chopped red onion
1 (8 ounce) package fresh spinach
½ (14 ounce) package pastry for 9-inch double-crust pie
4 large eggs
¾ cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
¾ cup heavy cream
⅓ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add onion and cook for 1 minute. Add spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to wilt, about 1 minute. Cover skillet and cook for 1 minute more, allowing condensation to build inside the skillet. Remove from heat, uncover, and stir.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press pie pastry into a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie pan. Prick bottom and sides with a fork.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Combine eggs, ricotta cheese, cream, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, basil, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Spread spinach and onion mixture evenly over the crust. Pour egg mixture on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until center of quiche is set and the top is lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
