The first time I attempted to make this quiche, I’ll admit, it wasn’t perfect. But after a few tries, I’ve mastered the art of quiche-making and I’m here to share my secrets with you.

Common Mistake #1

Overcooking the spinach. To avoid this, simply wilt the spinach just enough to release excess moisture. Don’t forget to drain it well before adding it to your egg mixture.

Common Mistake #2

A soggy crust. To prevent this, make sure to pre-bake the crust for a few minutes before adding the filling.

Q: Can I use frozen spinach? 

A: Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess moisture before adding it to the egg mixture.

Q: Can I use a store-bought pie crust? 

A: Absolutely! Just make sure to follow the same pre-baking instructions to prevent a soggy crust.

Q: Can I make this quiche ahead of time? 

A: Yes! This quiche can be made a day in advance and reheated in the oven before serving.

Q: Is it possible to make this quiche dairy-free? 

A: Yes, you can substitute the feta cheese with dairy-free cheese and use a dairy-free milk option, like almond milk.

Q: Can I add other vegetables to the quiche? 

A: Of course! Feel free to add your favorite veggies, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini.
