Ingredients

1 store-bought or homemade 9-inch pie crust
1 Tbsp Chipotle Olive Oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen, thawed & drained)
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk (or half & half for extra richness)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, or a mix)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
Sauté the veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the Chipotle Olive Oil. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted (or warmed through if using frozen). Let cool slightly.
Whisk the custard: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Layer the filling: Spread the spinach mixture evenly in the pie crust. Sprinkle cheese over the top, then pour the egg mixture over everything.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing.
