- Skill Level: Intermediate
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup cooked turkey, cubed
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
- Sprinkle the cubed turkey and chopped spinach evenly over the pie crust. Top with 1 cup of the shredded Gruyère cheese.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well-combined and smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture over the turkey and spinach in the pie crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Gruyère cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve warm, accompanied by a mixed green salad and a glass of chilled white wine.
Helpful Tips
For a vegetarian version, simply omit the turkey and add more spinach or other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms. To make the recipe easier for beginners, you can use pre-cooked turkey or substitute turkey with cooked, shredded chicken.
Storage Instructions
Leftover quiche can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave or the entire quiche in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
Pairings
This Quiche Lorraine pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad dressed in a light vinaigrette. A glass of chilled white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, complements the creamy and savory notes of the quiche perfectly.
