1pie crust, prepared for a 9-inch deep dish pie plate and pre-baked (I used a frozen Marie Calendar crust pre-baked according to the package instructions)
3largeeggs
1cupcream
½cupmilk (whole or 2% reduced-fat)
½teaspoonsalt
⅛teaspooncayenne pepper
2teaspoonsolive oil
½mediumred onion, halved and thinly sliced (about ½ cup) (yellow onion works well too)
⅔cupshredded Comté, Gruyere, Emmental, Fontina or aged Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs lightly. Then whisk in the cream, milk, salt and cayenne pepper and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until tender but not brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the spinach and cook, until wilted, about 30 seconds.
Spread the spinach mixture into the baked crust. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the filling, distributing evenly.
Cover the exposed edges of the pastry with foil to prevent overbrowning.
Baked until the filling is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Cut into 6 to 8 slices.
