Spinach quiche, or quiche Florentine, is a wonderful vegetarian quiche recipe.
The spinach, cream, cheese and onion combination is delicious and may actually get a non-spinach eater to the table.
I love this quiche. In fact I love quiche recipes in general. They make easy dinner recipes and are light and rich at the same time.
Quiche recipes are so easy to make for lunch, brunch or dinner. They are perfect for a brunch or breakfast buffet.
Add a salad and possibly another side vegetable and it’s the perfect light lunch or dinner.
Can’t think of what to make or tired of what you usually make for dinner. This recipe may just be your answer.
Once the crust is made, the quiche filling comes together very quickly.
Then just pop it in the oven for a bit and wait for delicious to happen.
The spinach and eggs in this recipe are both very healthy for us.

Is this a deep dish pie shell?
Hi Beth It calls for 4 eggs and 1 1/2 cups of cream so I think if you use a fairly roomy pie plate you will be fine. If you are using the small crusts that you buy in foil plates, you may want to buy the deep dish. I hope that helps. Karen
how much is one “package of spinach” ?
Good question. This recipe calls for the small boxes of frozen spinach. I think they may be about 10 ounces.
