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. Prepare the pie crust by placing parchment and filling it with dried beans. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden, then cool to room temperature and reduce the oven to 350˚F.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined to make the custard.
- Chop the spinach roughly and place it in the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Layer the chicken, sun dried tomatoes, green onions, and cheeses over the spinach.
- Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients. Position the quiche on a baking sheet and bake for 45-55 minutes until the center is set.
- Allow the quiche to sit for 20 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

For a crispier crust, ensure the crust is completely baked and cooled before adding the filling.
You can substitute other vegetables or cheeses based on your preference for added flavor.
