I recently went to the mall to have lunch and hang out with some other new moms in my mom’s group. We breezed all around the mall with our strollers as a fun way to get out of the house in these intense winter. (NO MORE SNOW PLEASE!!)
Well, before I left I ran into Sur la Table to get some fun things to play around with. Picking up a few things makes me so excited to be in the kitchen cooking and baking, even when I’m worn out from a newborn.
Easy Greek Spinach Quiche
When I went to Greece a few years ago I really fell in love with spanakopita, feta, and Greek Salads (which are not like the ones you get from pizzeria here).
I was thinking back to my trip to Greece and was craving spanakopita recently so I decided to take those flavors and incorporate that into a quiche.
This Easy Greek Spinach Quiche is made with spinach, feta, oregano, and is topped with slices of tomato. Now, you can really enjoy your favorite Greek flavors right at home for breakfast!
You start to make the Greek Spinach Quiche by defrosting the package of frozen chopped spinach. Squeeze out all excess liquid from the spinach.
In a large bowl, beating the eggs well.
Next, add the spinach into the beaten eggs. Mix well to break up any clumps of spinach.
Mix in the feta cheese. I suggest using block feta as it typically holds more moisture than crumbled feta, giving it more flavor too.
Pour the quiche into the pie crust. Place the pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet in case there is any overflow in the oven.
Top the quiche with sliced of tomato prior to baking for 50 minutes, and letting rest for another 15.
Make this quiche and you’ll enjoy a piece of Greece right at home!
