Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh spinach or 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk whole milk or non-dairy milk for a dairy-free option
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pie crust store-bought or homemade

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a pre-made pie crust, place it on a baking sheet to avoid any spillage during baking.
  2. Prepare the Spinach: If using fresh spinach, sauté it in a pan until wilted, then allow it to cool. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water.
  3. Whisk the Eggs and Milk: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Add the Spinach: Stir the prepared spinach into the egg mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spinach is evenly distributed throughout.
  5. Pour into the Pie Crust: Carefully pour the spinach and egg mixture into the pie crust. Spread it out evenly.
  6. Bake the Quiche: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes or until the quiche is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for the best flavor or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftover quiche can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the quiche before or after baking. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and store it in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Add-ins: Feel free to add cheese, mushrooms, or other veggies to customize your quiche. Cheese like cheddar, Swiss, or feta works wonderfully with spinach.
  • For a Dairy-Free Version: Use a non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk, and skip the dairy-based crust or use a dairy-free crust.
