Ingredient Notes

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and add the spinach and feta. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and smooth it out evenly.
  3. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is lightly golden.
  4. Let it cool slightly before slicing, then serve warm or at room temperature.

Things I’ve Learned

If your quiche ends up too watery, make sure to squeeze excess moisture from the spinach before adding it to the mixture. You can store leftover quiche in the fridge for up to 3 days, and it reheats beautifully in the oven or microwave. For make-ahead prep, you can assemble the quiche a day prior and bake it just before serving for a fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.
