You can save some time using bagged spinach that has been pre-washed, so that all you have to do is chop it up.

You can use pre-shredded cheddar cheese in this recipe.

I always use a frozen pie crust because I find it is just as good as making my own and so much easier.

To make the spinach quiche crustless, just bake a bit longer until eggs are fully cooked - about 40-45 minutes in the oven

This is a great make ahead meal. You can make this recipe the day before, it tastes great reheated the next day.

You can make mini quiches by using a muffin tin and a refrigerated pie crust.

FAQs

Should you cook spinach before putting it in quiche? ›

Steam the spinach until it's just wilted. Then, transfer it to a kitchen towel and wring out the excess water. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, beating until no streaks of egg white remain. Add the steamed spinach, green onions, cheese, salt, and several grinds of pepper.

Is milk better than heavy cream in quiche? ›

Heavy Cream and Milk – For the best tasting quiche, use a combination of whole milk and heavy cream. (Or simply use half-and-half.) Using just heavy cream produces an overly thick filling. Whole milk is great, but a combo of heavy cream and milk is better.

Do you have to bake crust before quiche? ›

You need a par-baked or fully baked crust if you're making quiche, no-bake pie, custard pie, cream pie, pudding pie, or simply want an extra-crisp pie crust. If you're making a pie that doesn't require a baked filling, you still need a baked crust.

Should vegetables be cooked before putting in quiche? ›

"Vegetables will take longer to cook than your egg custard, so always sauté onions, steam broccoli, etc. before you add them to your egg mixture to ensure every bite of quiche will be perfectly cooked," says Kristin Beringson, executive chef at Henley in Nashville.

Why is my spinach quiche watery? ›

According to Real Simple, this typically occurs when adding too-wet ingredients to the quiche filling, layering the egg custard with, for example, large slices of raw tomato or raw zucchini.

What is the ratio for egg and milk when making quiche? ›

The best quiche ratio is 1 large egg to 1/2 cup of dairy. The ratio of the fat content from the dairy and the protein from the eggs determine the custard's final texture. The egg proteins bond to form a soft gel-like texture, while the dairy gives the quiche a creamy flavor.

Can I use 2% milk instead of heavy cream for quiche? ›

Classic custards use heavy cream, but 2% milk contains a fraction of the saturated fat and is still plenty rich. Flavor your custard with salt, pepper, a pinch of nutmeg and fresh herbs such as chives, oregano, parsley or tarragon.

Can I substitute Greek yogurt for heavy cream in quiche? ›

Greek yogurt can substitute milk, sour cream and heavy cream. Milk: If you're short on milk, half and half or light cream, Greek yogurt can be used to make up for the difference.

Do you poke holes in pie crust for quiche? ›

Air bubbles can also lead to cracks, and cracks inevitably lead to leaks. Therefore, for a level, leak-proof crust, a perforated crust is key. If, however, the recipe you're working with has a particularly liquidy filling, poking the bottom isn't a necessary step.

Why do you put flour in quiche? ›

Add flour to your filling: Adding a bit of flour to your quiche filling helps absorb moisture and stabilize things in general.

How to prebake a pie crust for quiche? ›

For a pie that you will cook further, like a quiche, bake the crust until it's dry and just beginning to brown, but still pale in color, 45-50 minutes. For a pie that will need no further baking, like a chocolate cream pie, bake the crust until it's evenly browned and crisp-looking, 60 to 75 minutes.

Is it OK to cook quiche the day before? ›

Whether you serve it as an appetizer or a main dish, quiche can either be cooked ahead of time and served warm, cold, or at room temperature.

Can I mix up a quiche the night before? ›

Meant to be served at room temperature—or even slightly chilled—you not only can make quiche ahead, you have to!

Do you have to cook spinach before baking it? ›

Yes — but don't overdo it! Fresh spinach releases a lot of water as it cooks, which can result in a soggy lasagna. That's why you'll want to sauté the spinach until it just wilts, which prevents it from releasing too much liquid too quickly.

Should I cook spinach before baking? ›

Cooking It

It also allows you to cook the spinach with other ingredients, which may give it more flavor. Cook frozen spinach just until it starts to dry out since it's already softened, but usually too moist for most dishes.

Do I need to boil spinach before cooking? ›

Generally, the best way to cook spinach is on the stovetop. Sautéing spinach is an especially quick and easy way to cook spinach, which also evaporates excess moisture in the leaves. However, you can also boil or steam spinach in just a few minutes.

Do you have to cook spinach or can you eat it raw? ›

The milder, young leaves can be eaten raw in a salad, while the older ones are usually cooked (spinach has one of the shortest cooking times of all vegetables). It reduces very dramatically during cooking; a 450g bag will be just enough for two people. Read our guide on the health benefits of spinach.
