How to Make Spinach Quiche Recipe – Step by Step 

  • Set Oven: First, preheat oven to 350F then use a fork to make small pricks all over the pie crust and then bake for 8 minutes.
  • Cook Spinach: Next, in a large skillet, heat the butter or oil over medium heat add the spinach and stir occasionally until completely wilted. Remove from heat.
  • Mix Eggs: Then in a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk and heavy cream, beat in the seasoning. Stir in the cooked spinach, cheese and ham.

Recommendations for Making Easy Quiche

Of course, no one likes a dry or unset quiche so here are a few recommendations. So below are a few tips you can utilize.

  • Use the exact ratios of milk and eggs to get a truly creamy filing. Use Large eggs for this recipe.
  • Less is more, Do not over fill your pie. It will take away from the custard and may fall apart.
  • Test the doneness of your quiche by placing a knife in the center, if it comes out clean it is done. Remember a quiche should have a little jiggle.
  • Remove any excess moisture from your ingredients to prevent a soggy bottom.

Can you Freeze your Egg Quiche

A cooked spinach quiche can be frozen for up to three months. Do not thaw when ready to serve. Reheat in the oven at 325 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until heated through.

Remember to use an air tight container to prevent freezer burn.
