| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. | In a large pot, heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom. |
| 2. | Add the romaine lettuce and spring onions, then stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until they begin to soften and release their aromas. |
| 3. | Pour in 1 cup of water and season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Continue cooking until the water evaporates, intensifying the taste of the ingredients. |
| 4. | Once the water has evaporated, remove the pot from the heat and sprinkle in the dried mint and finely chopped fresh dill weed. Mix well, allowing the flavors to infuse, and set the mixture aside to cool completely. |
| 5. | Preheat your oven to 450Β°F (230Β°C) and generously butter a large baking dish to prevent sticking. |
| 6. | In a separate large mixing bowl, crack open the eggs and beat them until they become frothy and light, creating a fluffy texture for your quiche. |
| 7. | Carefully fold the cooled lettuce and onion mixture into the beaten eggs, ensuring that every ingredient is evenly distributed for a harmonious blend of flavors. |
| 8. | Pour the combined mixture into the prepared buttered baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a uniform layer. |
| 9. | Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the center appears firm and set, indicating that it is thoroughly cooked. |
| 10. | Once baked to perfection, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. |
| 11. | Serve slices of this delectable Sfouggato me Marouli kai Kremidi alongside freshly baked bread and a traditional Greek salad for a complete Mediterranean meal experience. |
