Notes
- When you assemble the quiche, it feels like a lot of spinach. It will shrink and cook down though so don't remove any out of fear of it being too spinach heavy.
- If you are using a shallow baking dish, place a baking sheet underneath the dish. You might have an overflow issue on your hands.
- Read our full post on How to Freeze Quiche if you want more information!
- If you want to freeze your quiche after it's been baked, you can but it will have a soggy crust and the eggs may get overdone when rewarmed in the microwave or oven. This is not our preferred freezing method.
- This is a great recipe to double and freeze. Especially since pie crusts usually come in packages of two.
