Yes, you can use frozen spinach. Just make sure to thaw it thoroughly and squeeze out any excess moisture before adding it to the quiche filling.
You can use store-bought pie crust for convenience, or make your own from scratch using flour, butter, and water. Simply roll out the dough and press it into a pie dish, then pre-bake it before filling it with the spinach mixture.
Yes, you can make a crustless quiche by simply omitting the pie crust. The egg mixture will hold together on its own as it bakes, making it a lighter option.
Quiche pairs wonderfully with a light salad, roasted vegetables, or fresh fruit for a balanced meal.

Not sure if I did it right… it didn’t rise much and was kinda watery. Maybe my eggs were too small? 😂
This quiche is amazing! I added some mushrooms and it turned out so good. My family loved it!
I used feta instead of cheddar and it turned out so good!
Wow, feta sounds like a delicious twist! I gotta try that next time.
I didn’t have cheddar, so I used mozzarella. Still turned out good!
This quiche recipe is awesome! Super easy and delicious.
Not my favorite. I probably won’t make this again. Too bland for me.
So good! I added some garlic and it was delish. 😍🤤
So easy to make! My kids loved it. Will def make again.
Just made it, and I’m eating it right now, sooo good! Will keep this recipe.
I don’t know, I made it once and it was kinda bland. Maybe I did something wrong?
That sounds amazing! Spinach quiche is my fave! 😍
I don’t like spinach. Can I use something else? Maybe broccoli?
Did anyone else’s quiche overflow? I followed the recipe, but it made a mess.
I don’t understand why you put spinach in a quiche. What’s wrong with just cheese?
This quiche was amazing! Perfect for breakfast.
Spinach makes it healthy, right? lol
Is this healthy? I don’t understand how eggs plus cheese is a meal.
Spinach?! Who eats that? I think I’m gonna just skip this one.
What a great breakfast! Yum!
Quiche = fancy. My friends are gonna be so impressed!
This took way longer than 45 mins for me. Maybe my oven is broken? idk
Tastes like my grandma used to make! Brought back good memories.
