Love Quiche? Then you’re going to love these individual spinach quiche that are perfect size to grab and go on your way to work or school!
In an effort to save money and eat healthier, I have been meal prepping lately. On Saturdays, I put together my menu for the week and order my groceries online. I usually pick up my groceries on Sundays and then prepare the meals for the week.
Then I have healthy, homemade meals ready for the entire week. I love it!
Individual Spinach Quiche
One of the lunches I made for the week is an individual spinach quiche. It is completely homemade and easy to make. It combines fresh spinach leaves with cage free eggs and an appreciable amount of cheese, baked in a homemade crust.
I decided to make these quiche because they are easy to pack in a lunch for work, and conveniently portioned.
The buttery flavor and texture of the crust, paired with the savory, cheesy quiche filling, and colorful spinach leaves will make this a favorite in your home!
Individual Spinach Quiche
An easy, homemade recipe for an individual serving of spinach quiche.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 10 tbsp butter cold and cut into cubes
- ice cold water
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 1/2 cup Monterey jack cheese
Instructions
-
Combine flour and salt in a food processor. Add in butter and use the pulse to break up the butter into pea-size pieces. Add in 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time, blending after each addition until the dough is coming together, and moist.
-
Place dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
-
Take 6 ramekins, or one pie plate, and grease with butter. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Whisk eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper in a bowl until very smooth. Take dough from refrigerator and lay out on a floured surface. Use a rolling pin or sturdy cup to roll out the dough. Cut dough into 6 ramekin-sized circles, or one large circle, if using a pie plate. Place dough in ramekins or pie plates.
-
Layer on a row of spinach leaves on top of the dough, sprinkle with 1/6th of the cheese, and fill 3/4 of the way with the egg mixture. Repeat for all ramekins.
-
Bake in preheated oven for 35 – 45 minutes, when you can insert a knife or toothpick, and it comes out clean.
