Spinach Quiche with Polenta
“Here’s a recipe that has become one of my favorites lately. It comes together really quickly with minimal prep work. This makes a delicious dinner with a salad or would be well-received for a brunch occasion. I highly recommend doubling the recipe if you have two baking dishes. It’s that good! Delicious hot or cold.”

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (plus more for greasing baking dish)
- 6 packed cups Baby spinach (6 oz)
- 5 large Eggs
- 2/3 cup Fat free Greek yogurt (or whatever % fat Greek yogurt you have)
- 1/4 cup INSTANT Polenta
- 1 clove Garlic finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup Feta cheese, finely grated
- 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chopped Dill
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in middle position.
- Grease sides and bottom of a 1 1/2 quart shallow baking dish or pie pan with olive oil.
- Finely crumble feta cheese (a mini food processor does a great job crumbling feta finely). Grate Pecorino Romano cheese. Finely chop the dill. Set aside together in a bowl.
- In a large fry pan, put 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat to medium high while adding all the spinach. Toss spinach until well-wilted, less than 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, yogurt, polenta, garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Add the feta, Pecorino Romano and dill and whisk until evenly combined.
- Stir in the wilted spinach.
- Pour into prepared baking dish and bake JUST until set and puffed.
Tips
Instant polenta will be found in the Italian food aisle, not with other cornmeal products.
