The Best spinach and feta quiche recipe

I have been making this spinach and feta quiche for years and it never fails to satisfy. My kids love it even though it has spinach in it and that is a huge win in my book. It is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a lazy weekend brunch and it is packed with protein and iron from the eggs and spinach. The feta adds a nice salty tang that makes everything taste so good. I love that I can whip it up with ingredients I usually have on hand and it always comes out looking beautiful on the table.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Spinach and Feta Quiche

1. Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

Yes, you can. Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much water as possible before using it in the recipe. This prevents the quiche from becoming watery.

2. How do I store leftover quiche?

Store leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven or microwave.

3. Can I make this quiche ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can make the quiche a day ahead. Let it cool completely, then cover and refrigerate. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes before serving.

4. What can I substitute for feta cheese?

You can use goat cheese or shredded mozzarella for a different flavor. Ricotta also works well for a creamier texture.

5. Is this quiche gluten-free?

No, this recipe uses all-purpose flour for the crust. To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend for the crust or skip the crust entirely and bake the filling in a greased dish.
