This stinging nettle quiche is earthy and creamy, a little tangy from the cheese and tomatoes, and deeply nourishing. Whether you’ve never cooked with nettles or they are already part of your spring rhythm, this recipe is a gentle, simple way to let them shine.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 5-6 portions 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Pie dough (homemade or store-bought)

2 litres stinging nettles

6 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

6 eggs

2 dl (¾ cup + 1 tbsp) heavy cream

100 g (3 ½ oz) feta cheese

Black pepper, to taste

Salt, to taste

To Serve

Salad

Crème fraîche

Instructions

  1. Steam the stinging nettles for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then squeeze out the excess liquid with your hands. Roughly chop the nettles.
  2. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk to break up the yolks.
  3. Add the chopped nettles, sun-dried tomatoes, and heavy cream to the eggs. Season with salt and black pepper, and mix well.
  4. Place the dough in a pie dish and use a fork to poke holes in the bottom.
  5. Pour the filling into the pie crust and crumble the feta cheese over the top.
  6. Bake in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 35–40 minutes, until the filling is set and the top is golden.
  7. Let the pie cool slightly before serving.
  8. Serve with a simple salad and a dollop of crème fraîche.
