FAQ
Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Absolutely! Just use fresh spinach, cook it down until it’s wilted, and squeeze out any extra water before adding it to the eggs.
Can I swap the cheese?
For sure! Swiss, cheddar, or mozzarella will work well. Muenster just melts nicely and adds a mild flavor.
How do I store leftovers?
Cover and keep in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before eating.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, since there’s no crust, this spinach quiche is naturally gluten-free.
