Spinach Quiche 🥧🌿
Spinach quiche is a savory baked dish made with a flaky crust filled with eggs, cream, cheese, and spinach. It’s soft, creamy in the center, and lightly golden on top.
🧂 Main ingredients
- Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh spinach (or frozen, well-drained)
- Eggs
- Cream or milk
- Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
- Onion and garlic (optional)
- Salt & black pepper
- Nutmeg (optional, but classic in quiche)
🍳 How it’s made
- Prepare spinach
- Sauté spinach with a little garlic until wilted
- Drain excess moisture (very important)
- Make filling
- Whisk eggs with cream/milk
- Add cheese, salt, pepper, and spinach
- Assemble
- Place pie crust in a baking dish
- Pour in spinach-egg mixture
- Bake
- Bake at ~180°C for 35–45 minutes
- Center should be set but slightly soft
- Cool
- Let it rest before slicing so it firms up
🧀 Flavor profile
- Creamy and soft inside
- Slightly salty from cheese
- Mild earthy taste from spinach
- Buttery crust for contrast
🔄 Variations
- Add mushrooms or onions for extra depth
- Use feta for a tangy Mediterranean flavor
- Add cooked chicken or bacon for a heartier version
- Make crustless (lighter, low-carb option)
đź’ˇ Tips
- Always remove water from spinach to avoid soggy quiche
- Don’t overbake—slightly soft center gives best texture
- Let it rest 10–15 minutes before cutting
If you want, I can give you a quick no-crust spinach quiche (5 ingredients) or a Pakistani-style spicy version with green chilies and herbs.
