Ingredients

8 large eggs
½ cup (120 ml) milk
½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream (or use more milk)
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish or baking dish.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until wilted. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, salt, pepper, oregano, parsley, and chives.
Stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan, and the cooked spinach mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Let the pie rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Crumbled cooked bacon
Diced ham

Tips

Squeeze excess moisture from the spinach if using frozen spinach (thawed) to prevent a watery pie.
For a fluffier texture, whisk the eggs until well combined before adding the remaining ingredients.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8–10 minutes.

This savory egg pie is delicious served warm or at room temperature, making it an excellent choice for meal prep, brunch gatherings, or a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
