Ingredients

  • 9" frozen pie crust
    1
  • eggs
    3 large
  • whole milk
    ¾ c
  • heavy cream
    ¼ c
  • chevre

    soft goat cheese

    3 oz
  • loosely chopped fresh spinach
    ½ c
  • shallot

    chopped

    1
  • kosher salt and black pepper
    ¼ tsp
  • fresh thyme

    optional

Directions

  1. 1

    Remove pie crust from freezer and allow it to warm while you preheat your oven. When softened a bit, poke holes all around the crust with the tines of a fork. If you want your crust to not puff up even more, fill it with pie weights or beans. Pre-bake your pie crust according to package directions (mine was 425 degrees F for 15-20 minutes) on the bottom 1/3rd of your oven, until very lightly browned.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, mix together the eggs, milk, cream and whisk till combined. Then add goat cheese (crumble with your fingers), spinach, and chopped shallot with kosher salt and black pepper and stir. The goat cheese will not fully combine, but that's ok, it will melt down.

  3. 3

    Remove pre-baked pie crust from the oven, change the temperature to 400 degrees F, and pour in the filling. It's really ok if you pie bottom breaks a part a bit, you won't be able to tell once it's baked.

  4. 4

    Bake at 400 degrees F for about 50 minutes, until the center is puffed up. It should have just a slight jiggle, not a wave, when you move it around. Allow it to set/cool for about 5-10 minutes before eating. I LOVE a little fresh thyme leaves on top if you have them on hand.
