Noodles form the base—Eggs and cream rise soft with heat—A slice of surprise

Ingredients

  • 2 portions cooked ramen noodles, drained and cooled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1/4 cup sautéed mushrooms (cooled)
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated cheese (Gruyère, Swiss, or cheddar work well)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing crust)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or nonstick spray, for greasing pan

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan or tart pan with olive oil or nonstick spray.
  2. Press cooked ramen noodles firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan to form a crust. Brush with melted butter.
  3. Bake crust for 8–10 minutes until just set and lightly crisped.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream or milk, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, grated cheese, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour egg mixture into the pre-baked ramen crust. Gently spread filling evenly.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.
  7. Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, topped with your choice of toppings: chives, bacon, tomatoes, caramelized onions, avocado, microgreens, or extra cheese.

Perfect Pairings

Drink
Sauvignon Blanc
A crisp Sauvignon Blanc, with its bright acidity and herbaceous notes, provides a refreshing counterpoint to the rich and savory ramen quiche. Its clean finish and citrusy undertones cut through the creaminess, enhancing the flavors of the eggs and vegetables.
