Ingredients
- 1 9- inch deep dish frozen pie crust
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup thinly sliced shallots
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- Pinch of ground nutmeg
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup 4 oz finely shredded Gruyère cheese
- 1 10- ounce package frozen chopped spinach defrosted and drained
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Thaw the pie crust until just soft enough to prick with a fork, about 10 minutes. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork. Bake for 10-15 minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden. If it puffs up, gently prick it to deflate. Set aside and reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
- In a skillet, cook the shallots in butter over medium-low heat until soft, about 8 minutes. Let them cool.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- Place the cooked pie crust on a baking sheet. Spread the shallots in the crust, sprinkle Gruyère on top, then add the spinach. Pour the egg mixture over.
- Bake at 325°F for 50-55 minutes until the custard sets and the top is lightly golden. Serve hot or warm.
Notes
Notes:
- Quickly defrost spinach by running hot water over it in a strainer, then squeeze it dry.
