Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F.
In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Then, add in the spinach and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until wilted. Remove from the stove and let cool for a couple minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until combined. Mix in the spinach and onion mixture, feta, mozzarella, black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, pepper and basil.
Divide the quiche filling between two shallow 9-inch frozen pie crusts. Use a fork to spread out the ingredients so they are evenly distributed throughout the quiche.
Place the quiche on a baking tray and bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the center is set and the quiche is golden. If you insert a knife and it comes out clean, the quiche is done.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
*Pie Crusts: Store bought pie crusts tend to be shallower than homemade pie dough in a pie dish. This will fill two shallow 9-inch crusts or 1 deep 9-inch pie crust.
