Chef’s Tips and Tricks
Fresh vs. Frozen Spinach
Both work beautifully. Fresh gives a brighter flavor and texture, while frozen is ultra-convenient. If you go frozen, just make sure it’s fully thawed and squeezed dry nobody wants watery quiche!
Best Cheese Combos
Gruyère adds a nutty depth, cheddar brings sharpness, and mozzarella gives you that gooey melt. I often do a mix of two for complexity.
Don’t Overbake
This is the number one issue I see with quiche. The center should be just set, like a soft custard. If it jiggles slightly in the middle, that’s okay it’ll firm up as it cools.

FAQs About Spinach Quiche
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! It keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheats beautifully. You can also freeze it just cool completely before wrapping tightly.
What’s the best pan to use?
A 9-inch tart or pie pan works best. Use ceramic, glass, or metal just adjust the bake time slightly if your dish is thick.
Can I skip the crust?
Absolutely. A crustless quiche is quicker, lower in carbs, and still delicious. Just grease your pan well and bake as usual.
How do I know when it’s done?
The center should be set, not liquid. A knife inserted near the center should come out mostly clean. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
