We absolutely love quiches. A good quiche can be served up for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or just a good midnight snack. 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.

Made this for lunch for having a dear friend over. It was delicious also served fruit salad so easy and fresh.
Holy Moly! This quiche is amazing and so simple to make. There is a lot of cheese that made it a wee bit rich, but hey … it’s hard for me to ever turn my nose up at cheese! We also love the mushrooms.
Thanks for another knock out easy recipe Rachael!
Absolutely love this quiche. So easy and quick to make. Delicious!! I added some roasted red peppers for a different flavour. Very nice. Thank you for such a great recipe ๐
Excellent recipe !!!!! You knocked it out the park.
I used a white onion medium size. Fresh ruffly chopped fresh spinach and a whole small pack of sliced mushrooms broken in half.
Had to cover the top with aluminum foil towards the end to continue it being properly cooked.
Totally delicious thanks
I made this for company last month and it was a hit!
I have company coming again, and will do the same!
I added one more egg, and did use the frozen pie crust. It was delicious – the feta is a great change!
I also agree re: the one page print! (as in a previous comment)
for me an easier way to drain the spinach is to put it in a colander and then use a bowl to push the water out.
This is so good! We love this recipe. Leftovers are delicious too!
Very good! I made it with a crust. I did find it a little salty so would leave out the salt next time. I would also cut back some on the cheddar cheese because my eggs spilled over the crust when filling. Definitely a keeper.
Thank you! Your recipes are amazing!
SO yummy and so easy too! I made it for my adult son visiting Momโs B&B and he has seconds, saying itโs โbursting with flavor – takes you to flavortown!โ ๐คฃ
Iโll be fixing this regularly!
