Ingredients You’ll Need
The essential items for the perfect quiche texture and flavor
You’ll need:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch deep-dish pie pastry shell
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons diced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Notes on choosing fresh spinach, feta, and cheeses
Choose fresh spinach with firm leaves, and pat it dry to prevent excess moisture. Use feta that crumbles easily—it gives small salty pops throughout the quiche. Cheddar adds a mild melt, keeping the custard creamy without being too heavy.
Step-by-Step: How to Make Delicious Spinach Feta Quiche
Prepare and pre-bake the crust for the best results
If using frozen pie crust, thaw it first. Prick the base with a fork and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. This prevents sogginess later and gives a crisp, golden layer.
Whisk the egg mixture for a smooth custard base
In a bowl, whisk six eggs with salt and pepper until smooth. Room-temperature eggs blend more evenly, giving your quiche a silky texture.
Layer the fillings to ensure even baking and flavor
Spread diced onions over the pre-baked crust. Then layer chopped spinach, cheddar, and crumbled feta evenly across the bottom.
Add the egg mixture and butter, then bake until set
Pour the egg mixture gently over the layered ingredients. Dot with small pieces of butter. Bake at 350°F for 24–30 minutes until the center is just set and slightly jiggly.
Rest, slice, and serve for perfect texture
Let the quiche rest for about 5 minutes before cutting. This allows the filling to firm up and the flavors to settle.
Tips for Perfect Quiche Every Time
Preventing soggy crust with proper blind baking
Blind baking your crust before adding the filling keeps it crisp even after the custard sets.
Handling spinach to avoid excess moisture
Squeeze any excess liquid from the spinach before adding it. Wet spinach can lead to a watery quiche.
Removing quiche from the oven at the right time
Remove it while it still has a gentle wobble in the middle. It will finish setting as it cools.
Using room-temperature ingredients for a creamier filling
Allowing eggs and cheese to reach room temperature helps them blend more smoothly into the custard.
Variations You Can Try
Greens swaps like kale or Swiss chard
Try chopped kale or Swiss chard for a more robust flavor. Sauté them briefly before adding.
Cheese alternatives for different flavor profiles
Goat cheese adds tanginess, while mozzarella brings a mellow stretch.
Crust-free or low-carb version ideas
Skip the crust entirely and bake in a greased pie dish for a lighter, crustless version.
What to Serve With Spinach Feta Quiche
Light salads for a balanced dinner
A crisp green salad with lemon vinaigrette complements the quiche perfectly.
Fresh fruit or roasted vegetables for pairing
Serve with roasted cherry tomatoes or a bowl of seasonal fruit for a colorful, complete meal.
Storage and Reheating Instructions
How to refrigerate and how long it lasts
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
How to freeze and thaw properly
Wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
Best reheating methods for crisp crust and ideal texture
Reheat at 350°F for 15–20 minutes if thawed, or 25–30 minutes if frozen. Avoid microwaving the whole quiche; it can soften the crust.
