A simple and delicious Spinach Feta Quiche recipe featuring a flaky pie crust filled with fresh spinach, onions, sharp cheddar, creamy feta, and a seasoned egg custard. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, this quiche is easy to prepare and bakes golden and set in under an hour.

Ingredients

Quiche Base

  • 1 pie crust

Filling

  • 6 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onions
  • 1/2 bunch fresh spinach, chopped (about 1 cup chopped)
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles
  • 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pie Crust: If the pie crust is frozen, thaw it out completely before use to ensure even baking.
  2. Pre-bake Crust: Poke holes in the bottom of the pie crust using a fork to prevent bubbles, then pre-bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until slightly firm.
  3. Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Add Onions: Evenly spread the 2 tablespoons of chopped onions over the pre-baked pie crust.
  5. Add Spinach: Layer the chopped fresh spinach evenly on top of the onions within the crust.
  6. Layer Cheddar: Sprinkle the 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the spinach layer.
  7. Top with Feta: Distribute the 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles over the cheddar cheese layer evenly.
  8. Pour Egg Mixture: Slowly pour the whisked egg mixture over the layered ingredients, allowing it to fill in the gaps.
  9. Prepare for Baking: Place the pie on a cookie sheet to catch any potential spills during baking.
  10. Add Butter: Dot the top of the quiche with small pieces of the 1 tablespoon butter for added richness.
  11. Bake Quiche: Bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 24-30 minutes, or until the quiche is completely set and lightly golden on top.
  12. Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving to let it firm up and flavors meld.

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach for the best texture and flavor, but frozen spinach can be substituted if fully thawed and drained.
  • For a flakier crust, you can blind bake the pie crust with pie weights to prevent shrinking or bubbling.
  • Feel free to swap cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese like mozzarella or Swiss for variation.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, ensure your pie crust contains no animal fats.
