Spanakopita Quiche with Filo Crust 

Filled with spinach and feta, this Greek inspired quiche has all the flavors of spanakopita.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 8 sheets frozen fillo dough, defrosted according to package instructions
  • cooking spray
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3 ounces plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup grated cheese (I used mozzarella but use your favorite - fontina, gouda, etc.)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • pinch of freshly cracked pepper
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and water squeezed out
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Lightly coat a pie dish with cooking spray. Lay one sheet of fillo dough over the bottom of the dish. Lightly coat the dough with cooking spray. Lay a second sheet of fillo dough over and coat with cooking spray. Continue layering until you have 8 sheets. Press the dough into the dish. Using kitchen scissors or a paring knife, trim off the dough that is hanging over the edge. Tuck the edges of the dough under.
  3. Par-bake the dough until light golden, about 8 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, yogurt, grated cheese, Parmesan, green onion, parsley, and pepper. Stir in the spinach.
  5. Pour egg mixture into the fillo dough shell. Sprinkle feta over the top. Bake 45-50 minutes, until quiche is puffed up and set. Cover exposed fillo with foil halfway through so it does not burn. Cool slightly before serving
  6. To reheat, place cooked quiche into a 300 degree oven for 10 minutes.

Notes

Gluten Free option: I always like to include gluten free variations for recipes, but this is a tough one. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any gluten free fillo dough. If you would like to make homemade gluten free fillo dough, here is a recipe. Alternatively, make a crutstless quiche!
