Notes
- When making the pie crust for quiches, ensure not to prick it too much, or the egg and cream mixture will find it’s way out of the pie (as happened to me when making for the first time )
- If you don’t like thready spinach, chop it into small pieces but don’t grind.
- I prefer to cut the cheese into pieces and spreading it so that the spinach and mushroom are visible in the quiche.
- You can also sprinkle the quiche with caramelized onions and chives.
