FAQs

Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?

Can I use a homemade crust?

What kind of milk should I use?

Whole milk provides the creamiest texture, but you can use low-fat or plant-based milk.

The center should be set but slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.

Can I serve this quiche cold?

Yes! It tastes great warm, room temperature, or chilled.
