Instructions

Gently fold in the prepared spinach and sautéed onion until evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.

Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with cooking spray or oil, then pour in the spinach and cheese mixture, spreading it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is puffed up slightly and set to the touch in the center.

Allow the quiche to rest on the counter for about 5 minutes before slicing.
