Preparation Steps

- Add garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.

- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Add the cooked spinach mixture and grated cheese to the egg mixture and combine well.
- Pour the mixture into the pie crust, distributing the filling evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a variation, consider adding diced cooked bacon, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
