Spinach and Ricotta Quiche
6 servings
90 minutes
Spinach and ricotta quiche is an elegant dish of French cuisine that captivates with its tenderness and harmony of flavors. Traditionally, quiche originated in Lorraine, France, where a thin shortcrust pastry serves as the perfect canvas for a light, creamy filling. Here, ricotta adds softness while spinach brings a fresh green note complemented by the sharpness of cheddar and parmesan. A light aroma of green onions enhances the overall composition, making the dish balanced. Quiche is good both hot and cold, making it ideal for a leisurely breakfast, an exquisite dinner or a picnic. Serve it with a light salad and a glass of white wine for a true gastronomic delight.
