PREPARATION
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a small oven-safe ramekin or baking dish. Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the quiche.
- Wilt Spinach: If using fresh spinach, wilt it in a small pan over medium heat until soft, then remove any excess liquid by gently pressing with a paper towel. Frozen spinach should be thawed and excess water squeezed out.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then stir in the wilted spinach and crumbled feta cheese.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared ramekin, spreading the spinach and feta evenly.
- Bake: Place the ramekin in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is slightly golden. The quiche should have a firm but tender texture.
- Cool And Enjoy: Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a side salad.

TIPS
- Ensure Even Cooking: For best results, make sure the spinach is evenly distributed in the mixture, preventing large clusters that may create uneven cooking.
- Use A Small Ramekin: A ramekin or small baking dish ensures the quiche cooks through and achieves the perfect texture.
- Adjust Salt: Since feta cheese is naturally salty, taste and adjust the amount of salt to suit your preference.
VARIATIONS
- Herb Addition: Add a pinch of fresh or dried herbs like dill or basil for added flavour.
- Cheese Swap: Substitute feta with goat cheese or shredded cheddar for a different taste and texture.
- Vegetable Mix: Add diced bell pepper or tomato for added flavour and colour.
- Spicy Twist: Sprinkle in a pinch of chilli flakes or add a dash of hot sauce for a bit of heat.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds before enjoying.
- Freezer: Freezing is not recommended as the texture of the egg may change upon thawing.
