Spinach Ricotta Quiche

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Press pie pastry into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan; prick all over the bottom with a fork.

2 . Stage

Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool until needed.

While the crust is cooling, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add onion and cook for 1 minute. Stir in spinach and cook until starting to wilt, about 1 minute. Cover and cook until condensation builds inside the skillet, about 1 minute. Remove the lid, stir to combine, and turn off the heat.

Blend ricotta, cream, Parmigiano-Reggiano, eggs, basil, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth.

5 . Stage

Spread spinach mixture evenly over crust, then pour in ricotta and egg mixture.
