FAQs

Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

Yes, just make sure to thaw and squeeze out all the excess moisture before adding it to the mixture.

What’s the best pan to use for this quiche?

A 9-inch pie dish or a round baking pan works best. Glass or ceramic dishes yield even cooking.

How do I know when the quiche is done?

The center should be set and no longer jiggly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Can I prepare it the night before?

Can I make this dairy-free?

You can substitute plant-based milk and cheeses, though the texture and flavor will differ slightly.

Why is my quiche watery?

This can happen if the spinach isn’t drained well or if it’s overcooked. Be sure to sauté the spinach to remove moisture before mixing.

Can I omit the mozzarella?

Yes. You can skip the mozzarella or replace it with another cheese, but it helps add creaminess and structure.

Is this suitable for a keto diet?
