Squeeze excess moisture from spinach. Place spinach, onion mixture, ricotta and parmesan in a bowl. Whisk eggs and milk in a jug until combined. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle spinach mixture over pastry case. Pour over egg mixture. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until pastry is golden and filling is set. Stand quiche in tin for 5 minutes before cutting into quarters. Serve.
