Spinach Quiche With Feta And Leeks Best Ever Wellplated Com

One of my favorite things about quiche is its flexibility. Few foods can flow so effortlessly between a quick early morning breakfast, lazy Sunday brunch, light-yet-satisfying weekday lunch, AND family dinner. Quiche is one of the foods I turn to most. No matter the season, occasion, or current flavor craving, you can find a quiche to match and pull it together without breaking a sweat (for the most express route to quiche-dom, try Crustless Quiche). In winter, I make a hearty Sweet Potato Quiche; in summer, bright Pesto Quiche is on the menu; and for spring, I love this Goat Cheese Quiche. Today, however, it’s all about this spinach quiche with feta and leeks.

How to Make The Best Spinach Quiche

This stunning spinach feta quiche is an ideal addition to your next social gathering with the girls, a special family weekend, or a holiday feast. It’s pretty enough to stand alone but lean enough to allow you to fill your plate with other dishes too (like a side of Fruit Salad and Oven Baked Bacon). It also happens to pair beautifully with a mimosa, a combination I can heartily endorse as tested and approved!

The Ingredients

Pie Crust. You can make a homemade crust (I love this easy Whole Wheat Pie Crust and Oil Pie Crust) or keep it simple with a store-bought crust (as this Easy Quiche Recipe does).

Spinach. With iron, vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, and calcium, spinach packs this quiche with a plethora of nutrients and pairs perfectly with the sweet leeks and tangy feta. (For an extra serving of greens, serve the quiche with small glasses of Blueberry Spinach Smoothie.)Leeks. A mild, sweet onion, leeks lend themselves to a variety of dishes. In this healthy spinach quiche, sautéed leeks melt beautifully into a fluffy egg filling, where their gentle flavor shines.

Feta. Lends the filling just the right amount of rich and creamy cheese goodness. (I also love feta on this Easy Kale Feta Egg Toast recipe.)

Eggs. A combination of whole eggs and egg whites makes this one of the lightest, loveliest quiches I’ve ever tasted. (This Potato Frittata also is truly delish.)Greek Yogurt. My swap that turns this typically decadent brunch recipe into a healthy spinach quiche without heavy cream. The Greek yogurt cuts fat and calories while keeping the custard filling rich and moist.Milk. To keep things on the lean side I reached for nonfat milk.
