Easy Beef and Spinach Quiche

Ingredients

	1 deep pie crust – use a deep pie or pizza crust for a quiche, as a thin crust may get too soggy with the egg mixture.
	200 g of fresh or frozen minced beef
	2 cups of fresh regular spinach or baby spinach.
	4 eggs

Spices and flavoring ingredients:

	4 tablespoons of any type of normal or low-fat greek yogurt. You can also use sour cream if you wish.
	1/2 teaspoon of paprika
	1 teaspoon of garlic powder or flakes
	1 teaspoon of dried basil, or fresh basil if you have it
	Salt and pepper

How to make this beef and spinach quiche

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (375°F).
2. Place the pie crust on a baking pan and pierce it lightly all over with a fork (about 2 inches apart).
3. Whisk the eggs and Greek yogurt together in a large bowl.
4. Cook the minced beef with the spices in a frying pan until no longer pink.
5. Add the spinach to the pan and sauté briefly with the beef.
6. Combine the cooked beef and spinach with the egg mixture.
7. Spread the filling evenly over the pie crust.
8. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
9. Serve warm.

Beef and spinach is always a popular combination, and it is no surprise that it works quite well in a quiche as well. A bit of protein and veggies and you have a healthy dish that can be served on any occasion.

The key is to cook the beef in advance because it will not cook sufficiently in the oven. The egg and the pie crust will cook much faster so it is much simpler to cook the beef on a stovetop first and then put it into the quiche.
