Spinach is a mild leafy green with so many nutrients. Its beautiful color and simple taste work so well with feta cheese in this delicious quiche. Feta is a Greek cheese that is creamy, tangy, and crumbles easily.

Spinach and feta quiche has ingredients that evenly distribute through the custard so every bite has spinach and a delicious burst of feta cheese.

To take your quiche up a notch, make it in my easy and amazing quiche crust. Quiches can be made with any combination of ingredients. Some of my favorites include a classic Quiche, Cheese and Onion Quiche, and Quiche Lorraine.

Ingredients and Substitutions

See printable recipe card for complete ingredients and instructions.

  • Quiche Crust – Use this amazing quiche crust, a classic homemade or store-bought pie crust, Cream Cheese Pie Crust or phyllo crust.
  • Eggs – Large eggs to make custard.
  • Heavy Cream – Heavy cream gives quiche the most luxurious texture and flavor, but you can use half and half, the heaviest milk you have on hand including whole milk, and dairy free substitutes including soy and almond milk (note it will alter the flavor).
  • Feta – Fresh crumbled feta cheese yields the creamiest texture and flavor.
  • Spinach – Fresh is my favorite, but you can use frozen – just squeeze out all the extra liquid once it is thawed.
  • Garlic – Minced garlic adds wonderful flavor to this quiche. You can use minced garlic or minced fresh cloves.
  • Salt – A hint of kosher or sea salt.
  • Pepper – Thick flakes of black ground pepper are preferred. I set the grinder to the largest setting. It adds colors and flavor.

  4. Bake – Bake until edges are just set, but center is still jiggly. Allow to cool 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips

  • Pre-Bake Crust – Partially baking (or blind baking) the crust prevents custard from seeping into the crust, which ensures that the crust and quiche bake evenly and remains crisp.
  • Protect Crust – Tent the crust or use a pie crust shield to prevent it from over browning.
  • Minimal Water Content – Thoroughly drain spinach so that quiche properly sets.
  • Don’t Over Bake – Slightly under bake quiche for proper texture. It should remain jiggly in the center when you tap the edge of the dish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep quiche from getting soggy on the bottom?

First, blind bake the crust. This will help keep the crust crispy. Next, keep water moisture out of the quiche. After rinsing the spinach, remove all of the water so that it is dry going into the quiche.

How can I make quiche healthier?

You could replace the cream with half and half or milk. This reduces calories and fat content. Cream does make quiche creamy and delicious, but milk still works and tastes great, too!

Dietary Considerations

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic or 3 cloves, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions 

Crust

  • Prepare a homemade or store-bought crust in advance so it can be chilled and partially baked (up to 3 days in advance).
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Place crust in ungreased quiche, pie or tart dish.
  • Cover with parchment paper to fill mold. Fill dish with pie weights (or beans).

Quiche

  • Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Steam spinach according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs, cream, salt and pepper 1 minute on high or until well combined.
  • Whisk in spinach, feta, garlic, salt and pepper until combined.
  • Pour spinach and cheese filling into crust. Tent or use a pie crust shield to prevent over browning. Bake until edges are set (about 35-40 minutes). The center should jiggle slightly when the edge of the dish is tapped. Do not overbake for best results.
  • Allow to cool 10-15 minutes before slicing to serve. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Julie’s Tips

Mini Quiche – Use a large cookie cutter to cut pie dough to fill muffin tin or phyllo shells on a sheet pan. Fill with custard and toppings. Bake 25 minutes or until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
Make Ahead – Quiche can be made ahead of time and then reheated. You can simply put your quiche together as directed, and bake from refrigerated when you’re ready. You do run the risk of a soggy crust with this method, though.
Another option is to bake your quiche fully, then let it cool before refrigerating or freezing and reheat to serve. You can also blind bake your crust and prep your filling and store them separately in the fridge, combining to bake when you’re ready.

To Store

  • At Room Temperature – Quiche can sit on your counter for no longer than two hours during serving.
  • Refrigerate – Wrap in an airtight container and store for up to three days.
  • Freeze – In an airtight container, quiche can be frozen for up to three months. While it may last longer, it will begin to lose its fresh flavor after that point.

    This quiche is simple and delicious! Just the recipe I needed for a potluck lunch with friends! It is so good that I am making it for the second time in as many weeks.

  2. 5 stars
    This was a great recipe, thank you! Pre-baking the crust made a huge difference – no more soggy crusts for us. I took out the garlic and subbed in 4 thinly sliced garlic scapes that I had briefly steamed in the microwave, and the second time I made it I doubled the salt. It’s possible the feta I used just didn’t have as much salt as some do. I would recommend working harder at drying the spinach – I drain, squeeze, and ultimately roll it in paper towels and squish it dry. Spinach holds a lot of water and it will affect the texture of the quiche.

    I will be using this recipe liberally as farm share and garden vegetables begin to overwhelm me – the possibilities are endless!
