Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh spinach. You'll need about 1 pound of fresh spinach, which should be sautéed and drained before adding it to the quiche mixture to avoid excess moisture.
What type of pie crust should I use?
You can use a store-bought or homemade pie crust. A deep-dish crust works well for this recipe, but any standard pie crust will suffice. For a gluten-free option, try a gluten-free pie crust available at grocery stores.
How can I make this quiche ahead of time?
You can prepare the quiche the day before and refrigerate it before baking. Alternatively, bake it in advance and reheat it before serving. Just ensure it cools completely before storing it in the fridge.
