Ingredients In Spinach Quiche Fresh Spinach

• Butter : If you prefer, you can use cooking oil instead.
• Pre-Made Pie Crust : This can be found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. You could also use frozen puff pastry or make your own pie crust if you’re feeling ambitious!
• Garlic : Fresh minced garlic is called for in this recipe.
• Onion : We prefer white or yellow onions, but red would also work.
• Spinach : We prefer fresh, but frozen is acceptable. Simply thaw completely and then squeeze out all of the water before using.
• Feta Cheese : We prefer crumbled feta cheese, but you can buy it in a block and crumble it yourself.
• Eggs : Any kind of large egg will suffice. If you want to make your quiche a little better, half egg whites can be used instead of whole eggs.
• Shredded Cheese : Any white cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda cheese will work well.
• Milk : We suggest using whole milk, but 2 percent will suffice in a pinch. Heavy cream can also be used to make a slightly richer custard.
• Salt & Pepper
