This post has been a long time coming.

Remember how I told you how so many of our friends brought us fabulous meals while I was recovering from my surgery? Well this spinach quiche is another one of those dishes! I would have shared it with you sooner…BUT…it took me four tries to get the recipe to where I was happy with it.

We’ve eaten a lot of spinach quiche over the last month.

I loved my friend’s spinach quiche so much, I asked for the recipe, and she happily shared. I have such good friends! The first time, I made it exactly like her recipe. Of course, it didn’t taste like hers.

That would be too easy, wouldn’t it? If you’re detecting a tone of sarcasm, you would be right. I don’t know about you, but when I really like something, and then I can’t duplicate it or make it better, I’m not happy. Her quiche was really good. My first one was okay. Edible certainly, but I wouldn’t have put it on the blog. We’re not aiming for edible here. We’re aiming for food that makes you happy!

So basically I went through a series of changes over those four tries. Obviously it’s no longer the same recipe as hers, but sometimes you’re just not meant to get the exact same results! I eventually ended up swapping out frozen spinach for fresh, swapped the milk for light cream, swapped one cheese for another, and added an egg. Finally…I had a recipe I was happy with!

We love our veggies here. And our cheese! We usually have a number of different types of cheeses in the house, for this spinach quiche recipe, I tried a different kind of cheese than I usually use, and discovered a new favorite! Ricotta Salata, known as the Italian Feta, has a semi-firm texture with a slightly nutty flavor, with just a hint of salt. Lately I’ve been using it in salads instead of feta. DELISH!!

Get started by preheating your oven to 375 degrees.

While your oven is preheating, blend the ricotta salata, cottage cheese, chopped green onions, olive oil, dried basil, pepper and garlic salt together until smooth.

Our grocery store doesn’t always have garlic salt, but they do always have garlic powder. If you find yourself in the same predicament, garlic salt is easy enough to make. Just mix 3 parts salt to 1 part garlic powder, and store it in an airtight container.

Now add eggs and light cream to the food processor and continue blending until your mixture is smooth. You can see the progression below.

Layer your spinach at the bottom of the pastry shell, then add the chopped artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers, and pour the egg mixture over the top of the vegetables.  I like to save a few red pepper pieces to place on the top for a little color.

Bake the quiche for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserts into the center cleanly. Before you cut it, let it set for 10 minutes.

Hi Michelle! It's been a while since our last visit, so we just read about surgery. We hope everything is OK now and you're well, whatever it was. Our best wishes for a speedy recovery. As for the recipe, we both LOVED it! Fantastic combo of ingredients. And following your step-by-step photos we're confident we'll bake it perfectly at our first try:) Warmest regards, Mirella and Panos
