They are a complete meal with plenty of protein, fat, and veggies, so you will feel good about serving it up to your family. Don’t worry, all they’re going to notice is that they love it, so that whole ‘healthy’ thing can be our little secret. It is savory and cheesy and delicious, and so easy to make!
Ingredient Notes
- Olive Oil: You can substitute it with any neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil.
- Sweet Onion: A small sweet onion adds a mild, slightly sweet flavor. If you donโt have sweet onions, yellow or white onions will work.
- Mushrooms: Both white or cremini mushrooms work here.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic is best for flavor, but you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder if needed.
- Frozen Spinach: Be sure to fully thaw and drain the spinach to avoid extra moisture in the quiche. Press it with a paper towel to remove as much water as possible. Fresh spinach can be used as a substitute. For a detailed explanation, please read this article on substituting fresh spinach for frozen. You’ll need to remove stems, cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes, and then (just like frozen) remove as much liquid as possible from it.
- Feta Cheese: Feta gives the quiche a tangy bite, but you can swap it with goat cheese for a milder flavor using the same amount.
- Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds the most flavor, but mild cheddar works too. For variety, try using Swiss, mozzarella, or even a blend of cheeses.
- Eggs: Thereโs no good substitute for eggs in this recipe. It’s a quiche after all!
- Milk: 1%, 2%, or whole milk all work here.
Adding a Crust
Is it still a quiche without a crust? Of course, it is! A quiche uses a higher ratio of milk to eggs, which gives it a softer, silkier texture compared to a frittata, making it perfect for pairing with a flaky crust. While this quiche is wonderfully creamy and custard-like without a crust, you can easily add one if you prefer. Simply use a frozen, pre-made crust or make your own from scratchโno par-baking needed! Just spoon the filling directly into the crust and bake.
Deep Dish Pie Plate
This recipe is designed for a standard deep-dish pie plate that has a depth of 2 to 2.5 inches. There are generally two different pie plates that are sold in stores. One is a standard deep dish, and another is a more shallow dish (1 to 1 1/4 inch deep). With a quiche, you want to make sure you have a good thick layer of filling so a standard deep-dish pie plate will work best.ย
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
To freeze, cool the quiche completely, then wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a resealable freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw slices in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Reheat slices in the oven at 350ยฐF for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
Reheat slices in the microwave on high in 30-second increments until hot.

Just made this and added black olives. Very delicious-thank you, Rachel!
Black olives are a great idea!!
This has become my go-to dish. Everyone truly raves over it. The combo of feta and cheddar is fantastic. So easy, so tasty. I consistently get requests for the recipe.
Made this exactly as written.
Easy to make and delicious!
Thanks
I fixed this for dinner the other night and my husband loved it!! It was so good!! I served a side of broccoli and a small fruit salad with it.
Fantastic, thanks for the recipe! I used fresh Swiss chard, that had been gifted us, and a small amount of 17 year cheddar placed on top of the combined ingredients. I cooked down the Swiss chard with the onions, to reduce volume and water. The cheddar has notes of blue in it, so left out the feta! And, the only pan I had that was deep enough was a cast iron 10?12 inch round, which went from stove top to oven. After using it on the stove top, I removed the cooked ingredients, sprayed some oil and put in a tortilla as a crust. You give me courage to be a good and creative cook! Thanks again, Rachel!
First time I do quiche it was real good. My son asked for recipe.
My new favorite quiche. So easy and tasty. Great recipe!
This is a delicious, easy, and endlessly customizable recipe. It smells amazing while cooking and is great for leftovers. I did use 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese instead of feta, along with the cheddar.
Can I add something else beside mushroom like corn in spinach quiche
Add anything you want: corn, peppers, ham, bacon, … make it to your own taste
Try marinated artichokes
