Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 deep dish pie shell (16 oz)
  • 1 cup diced chicken
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes diced
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Equipment

  • deep-dish (9–10 inch) pie dish
  • Parchment Paper
  • pie weights or dried beans
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or hand mixer
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line the pie shell with parchment and fill it with pie weights or dried beans; bake 12–15 minutes until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined to make the custard.
  4. Roughly chop the spinach if needed and spread it evenly in the bottom of the pre-baked pie shell.
  5. Layer the diced cooked chicken, diced sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced green onions over the spinach, then sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly on top.
  6. Pour the egg custard over the filling, place the pie on a baking sheet, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–55 minutes, until the center is just set and not wobbly.
  7. Remove the quiche and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Cooked diced chicken may be substituted with chopped cooked turkey.
  • Do not poke holes in the crust when blind-baking to prevent leakage.
  • Use pie weights or dried beans to keep the crust from bubbling.
  • Let the quiche rest 20 minutes before slicing to finish setting.
  • Reheat in short microwave intervals or covered in the oven as needed.
