This Spinach Feta Quiche came into my life and I could not have been more pleased. I was craving quiche (big surprise) the other night, so I decided to root around in my fridge to see what I could come up with. I just happened to have some spinach, feta cheese, and a red pepper lying around, it seemed like a perfect combination. I sauteed the pepper a bit first so that it softened up – and I prefer the flavor of it that way, and I wilted the spinach a bit so it took up less room.
You can always just use a store-bought crust, or make your own – however if you do buy store bought, I highly recommend you buy a sheet of pastry dough as opposed to one already in a pan. It always works much better for me and you have a little more flexibility with how you’re going to place it in your own pie pan.
Prep time on this Spinach Feta Quiche is only about 15 minutes, and it’s in the oven for about 30 minutes max. It feeds up to 8 people, so this is the perfect option for a weekend breakfast or a great addition to any brunch buffet table.
