  • Use fresh spinach for the best flavor. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture before using.
  • Chop the spinach finely so that it distributes evenly throughout the quiche.
  • Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor. Cheddar, Swiss, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Season the quiche generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is set and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
