How to Make Spinach And Parmesan Pie 2 Crust Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan.
  2. Prepare the filling: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 ounces pancetta, diced, and cook until crispy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  5. Stir in 10 ounces fresh spinach, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Cook until spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  7. In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Gently fold in the cooled spinach mixture.
  8. Assemble the quiche: Roll out one 9-inch pie crust and fit it into the prepared pie pan.
  9. Pour the spinach mixture into the crust.
  10. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal.
  11. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  12. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  13. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar (optional).
