Spinach quiche is a French savoury tart, usually made with a pastry crust filled with eggs, cream, cheese and spinach. It bakes into a golden, flaky shell with a tender, gently set centre. The spinach brings an earthy note, while the egg-and-cream filling is mild and rich.
Serve a slice warm or at room temperature for brunch, lunch or a light supper; a crisp green salad is a natural companion. It is a satisfying dish with some protein from the eggs and cheese, alongside a substantial share of fat from the filling and pastry. For a lighter plate, pair it with plenty of vegetables or choose a smaller slice.

Spinach quiche is a savory baked tart made with a pastry crust and a filling of spinach, eggs, cream, and cheese. The filling sets in the oven, while the pastry provides a crisp contrast.
To make spinach quiche, put prepared spinach in a pastry shell, pour over a mixture of eggs, cream, and cheese, then bake until the centre is set. Cooking and draining the spinach first helps prevent a watery filling.
Yes, spinach quiche can be baked ahead and refrigerated once it has cooled. Reheat it in the oven before serving, or serve it cold; letting it rest before slicing also helps the pieces hold together.
Spinach quiche is done when the edges are set and the centre has only a slight wobble, rather than looking liquid. It will firm up further as it rests, so avoid waiting until the filling is completely rigid in the oven.
Blind-baking the crust is helpful for spinach quiche, especially if you want a crisp base. Bake the pastry shell briefly before adding the filling; this reduces the chance that moisture from the spinach and egg mixture will soften it.
Yes, frozen spinach works well in spinach quiche. Thaw it completely and squeeze out as much liquid as possible before mixing or layering it into the filling, otherwise excess moisture can leave the quiche watery.
Serve spinach quiche with a crisp green salad, sliced tomatoes, or a light vegetable soup. These sides balance its rich egg-and-cream filling without competing with the spinach.
Reheat spinach quiche in the oven rather than the microwave to help the pastry stay crisp. Place a slice on a baking tray and warm it until the centre is hot; the microwave is quicker but tends to soften the crust.
Yes, spinach quiche can be frozen after baking. Cool it completely, wrap individual slices tightly, and freeze them; thaw a slice in the refrigerator before reheating it in the oven.
Spinach quiche keeps for about three days in the refrigerator when covered or stored in an airtight container. Refrigerate leftovers after they have cooled, rather than leaving them out for an extended time.
