Spinach Quiche – Make this easy Spinach Quiche with your favorite pie crust and serve it for a special breakfast or brunch!
OR PIE! You say tomato I say tomahto! Whatever you want to call it, it’s still one of the best and quickest dishes out there.When I have a few things left over in smaller batches, I almost always blend them together and make a savory pie – meat, spinach, chicken, veggie, etc… add a few eggs, make a crust, and voila!
After making the Stuffed Cannelloni the other day, I was left with a couple of cups of spinach and a bit of crumbled feta. I was also running low on whipping cream and the eggs were two days from expiration. Since I can’t bear to throw away food, I had to use them up.
As I was going through my Google Reader, I saw a recipe for a Spinach Quiche over at Thyme In Our Kitchen and I was ready to go.
I served it with plain yogurt (you can use sour cream) and the flan dish was emptied within minutes. I had none because I am still Fasting – few more days to go. On January 7th (Eastern Orthodox Christmas) I will eat like I’ve never seen food before.
Also looking forward to having our Spinach and BACON Quiche, again, real soon!
ENJOY!

There hasn’t been a comment on that post since January of 2011… are the comments that you are receiving from the Spinach Quiche post?
This does look fantastic. I think I need to make one. I was trying to figure out what to do for dinner tonight and type of thing looks perfect. Thanks!
Christ is born and Happy New Year Kate.

Thanks Elin! The addition of the feta cheese gives the pie/quiche that needed umph! 🙂
Congratulations on making the top 9, your spinach pie looks delicious! How long are you fasting!!! I would struggle to miss one meal!
The Fast is a vegan diet … and it’s six weeks long! 2 more days to go 🙂
Looks delicious…Yumm!!!!!
your spinach pie looks delicious!! I do love feta and it goes so well with spinach and that wonderful flaky crust!
Congrats on your top 9 today!!

Thank you, Chef!
Very nice, Kate. I can’t wait to see what you have up in 2 days… Merry Christmas. Or shall I say: Καλά Χριστούγεννα!
Thank you! 🙂 We say, “Hristos Se Rodi!” – Christ is Born!
Glad you liked the recipe and thanks for stopping over!
This looks amazing! I love how you utilized the leftover spinach and feta from your cannelloni too. Great thinking!
Looks awesome! 🙂 Congrats on the top 9!
Thank you! 🙂
I’ve got loads of spinach to get rid of… good idea putting it in a pie or quiche! 🙂
Congratulation for TOP 9 !
Thank You!
I hate to waste food too. Even the littlest scrap of leftovers finds a new home in some dish I’m making.
Love the combination of spinach and feta!
Kristi
Can hardly wait to see pics of your Christmas Dinner, especially sarma and pogača!!! And love your spinach pie ^_^
I’m looking forward to showcasing some of my traditional Macedonian food! 🙂
Do you really say tomahto? Because I’m guessing that was pooetic license you were using, but I can’t tell inflection over the internet, and really, I’ve never met anyone who says tomahto! It ruins the whole basis for the song, you know? Same with potahto. I mean, I suppose it’s enough that everyone understands what it means, but to a literalist, well, I’ve just got some issues with that song.
But I have no issues with this pie. Wow; that is a genius use of leftovers, by all means.
hehehe I don’t say tomahto 🙂 I had an English professor in college, he was 73 years old, he said tomahto, potahto, and ab-dough-men for abdomen. 🙂 Apart from him, no, I’ve never met anyone else that talks that way.
I’m glad you like my pie!
I’m a great fan of spinach and ricotta cannelloni, as well as Greek spanakopita (?) so I’d be sure to love this. Thanks for the recipe!
Great idea!! I’ve never have thought of making Spinach Pie like that up to now 🙂 I usualy make that as Banitsa :))… Thanks for sharing, Kate!!!!
I adore Banitsa! It is very similar to this!
I love leftovers a la quiche!! (AKA empty the fridge quiche!) Great photos, well done on using up what is in the fridge. This looks fantastic!
Yes, that’s the name, ’empty the fridge quiche’…Brilliant! 🙂
This is quiche season for me – take the leftovers and bring them together in a new savory way. Grand, tasty recipe!
Oh I love this! It’s got a bit of everything. Good pie crust with the fork trick. Crafty delicious use of leftovers. Ooey goey cheese. And green stuff to make it healthy. Wonderful creation!
This looks delicious. Great post. I thoroughly enjoy spinach pie.
Maralyn
Thank you, Maralyn!
What a great way to use up your leftover spinach!
I know, I love this stuff! 🙂
This looks like a mix between pizza and quiche. Very clever. I am also a HUGE spinach nut. I eat creamed spinach for lunch, just by it self. I know, I’m nuts.
I, too love spinach – I ran track in HS and I would load up on this stuff before a run…it worked…I was popeye for a few minutes. 🙂
Just so beautiful and plus I love the combo!!!Yummy:D
Thanks, Sandra!
I’m totally making this – for myself, my husband would never eat anything that was green…even if I called it pie! Gorgeous recipe, can’t wait to try it!
Load it up with prosciutto and bacon instead of the spinach … he might like that! 🙂
delicious healthy pie lovely pictures
This looks great! I’m like you … I HATE throwing away food … so getting creative is a must when you have leftover ingredients from a dish you’ve made. I love this quiche idea! AND I can’t WAIT to see your recipes from your Eastern Orthodox Christmas. I spent Christmas with an old friend from Serbia a few years back and had some of the best food of my life! 😀
YUM! This is one of my favorite things to get at Greek restaurants, but have never tried making it myself. I totally should! Great recipe.
I love a good savory pie! What a great idea for the leftover spinach and feta mixture. 🙂
Yummy! I haven’t made quiche in ages, but now I’m inspired to throw one together again. Such a great meal! Thanks for sharing 🙂
this absolutely looks outstanding! Great start to the new year!
