Can you use fresh spinach instead of frozen in a quiche?
Most recipes call for frozen spinach; perversely, even though I was using a frozen pie shell, I decided to use fresh spinach. The fresh spinach has a bigger flavor and chewier presence in the quiche than chopped frozen spinach would. Feel free to substitute frozen, if you like.
Do you cook spinach before adding it to quiche?
To give fresh spinach a softer texture, you can cook it first before adding it to the quiche. This guarantees the spinach is soft when your quiche is finished cooking. It also allows you to cook the spinach with other ingredients, which may give it more flavor.
Why is my spinach quiche watery?
Eggs are the main reason your quiche becomes watery! They have proteins that start to coagulate when you put them at high temperatures. This helps a quiche to set in the oven. But when you over bake it, the proteins over-coagulate forcing out water.
What is the secret to a good quiche?
The number one trick to a good quiche is the perfectly fluffy egg filling. If you set aside add-ins and cheese (which we’ll get to later), quiche is basically just egg and milk. Figuring out your proportions couldn’t be simpler – for each egg you use, you need half a cup of milk.
Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen for spinach dip?
Frozen chopped spinach is a great choice, it’s easy to use and perfect for dips but if I have fresh spinach to use (or don’t have frozen handy) I substitute fresh spinach for frozen spinach. You will need, just one ingredient… 1 lb of fresh spinach.
How do you drain spinach for dipping?
After cooking frozen spinach, it needs to be completely drained. To do this, I place the spinach in a round metal steaming basket, close the sides, and then squeeze. It’s easier to clean than a strainer and less messy than paper towels.
What do you saute spinach with?
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and shallots and saute until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the spinach by the handful and toss with tongs until it wilts, 3 to 5 minutes. Season the spinach with salt and pepper.

How do you julienne spinach?
Cut each rectangle lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices. Stack several of the slices together and cut lengthwise again, creating thin batons called “julienne.” Continue to use this cutting technique with the remaining carrot pieces. This method works with many vegetables and even some herbs.
Can I use milk instead of cream in my quiche?
The simplest way to reduce the amount of fat and calories in your quiche is actually to eliminate the heavy cream and replace it with a healthier substitute. One swap is to use whole milk for the heavy cream, which will still provide a rich, creamy flavor but without all of the extra calories and fat (via Desert).
Why is my quiche like scrambled egg?
1. Not blind-baking the crust. If you pour the egg custard into an unbaked crust, the liquid is unfortunately going to seep into the crust, preventing it from crisping up. The simple solution is to blind-bake the crust before adding the custard.
Why is my quiche not fluffy?
You want to cook your quiche low and slow to keep the light fluffy texture. Too high of heat will cause the egg to curdle. See more tips and tricks below. Preheat Oven: To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
