Puff Pastry Quiche with Spinach and Feta

Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or a hearty dinner, this puff pastry quiche recipe is sure to satisfy. Made with a frozen puff pastry crust and a delicious spinach & feta filling, this vegetarian quiche is easy to make and full of savory flavor. You can also use mini muffin tins to make bite-sized quiches for a fun appetizer or snack.

Although I love this rich spinach and mushroom quiche, using frozen puff pastry makes quiche fool-proof while still being light and flaky.

Puff pastry is one of my favorite ingredients to use in both savory and sweet applications, simply because it's delicious and easy. Use it to make the fan-favorite tomato tart or these hard-to-put-down blueberry turnovers.

⭐️ Why This Quiche is the Best

• Quick & easy. Because this spinach quiche uses frozen puff pastry, it's an effortless recipe. Simply cook your veggies, whip up your egg mixture, pour it into the crust, and bake!
• Delicious. Light, crisp, & flaky pastry is paired with a rich and savory egg custard that's satisfying beyond your wildest dreams.
• Healthy. This quiche recipe with puff pastry is packed with spinach, which is high in fiber, calcium, iron, and numerous other nutrients. Eggs are a source of complete protein and an excellent source of healthy fats, making this quiche a healthy option for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
• Customizable. Swap in your favorite vegetables or cheese depending on the season!
• Perfect for a special occasion or holiday brunch

🥚 Ingredient Notes

• Frozen puff pastry - It's one of the best ingredients for so many reasons: If you buy a brand that's made with butter (some are made with oil), the flavor is as good as any homemade version; it keeps in the freezer for months; it bakes up beautifully, creating rich, crispy pastry that can be topped with any number of foods- savory or sweet (try it in my apple pie with puff pastry)!
• Extra-virgin olive oil - Any neutral oil (e.g. vegetable oil or avocado oil) or butter will work here
• Shallots - Slightly sweeter and more subtle than onions, but you could substitute ½ of a yellow or red onion for a similar flavor.
• Garlic - I always recommend fresh garlic for optimal flavor but jarred garlic will work as well.
• Spinach - Fresh or frozen spinach will work here, just make sure that if using frozen that it's thawed and drained (squeeze all of the water out) before using.
• Fresh lemon juice & lemon zest - Adds bright citrus flavor; I recommend using fresh lemon juice but store-bought will work just fine.
• Eggs - I recommend large eggs for this quiche recipe.
• Milk - Any variety of milk or half & half will do the trick, including plant-based milk, like soy milk, almond milk, or coconut milk.
• Feta cheese - Adds salty brininess that complements the bright and fresh flavors in our quiche.

📝 Variations & Substitutions

• Gluten-free quiche: Substitute a gluten-free brand of frozen puff pastry
• Dairy-free quiche: Use a plant-based milk and either omit the cheese or use a plant-based cheese in place of feta.
• Spicy: Add a few pinches of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
• Mini-quiche recipe: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray two muffin tins with cooking spray. Roll out pastry to about ¼" thickness. Cut into 12 even squares and press each piece into muffin tins and place in fridge to chill. Follow remaining quiche recipe instructions and bake for 20-25 minutes, until pastry is golden brown and eggs are set.
• Cheese: Change the flavor by using a different type of cheese, or use a mixture of cheeses. Swiss, Gruyere, and cheddar would all work great.

🔪 How to Make Puff Pastry Quiche

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and lightly grease a 9" pie pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place a piece of parchment paper onto a large cutting board and carefully unfold thawed pastry.

Transfer to prepared pan and trim pastry to fit pan. Use a fork to poke several holes on the bottom of pastry. Use the same fork or your fingers to crimp pastry edges. Place in refrigerator to keep cold.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add diced shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent, around 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Add spinach and cook, tossing continuously, until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and remove from heat.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Pull prepared puff pastry from the fridge and transfer spinach mixture into pastry shell. Pour egg mixture on top, then sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.

Place pie pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, until the quiche is set (with a slight jiggle in the middle) and the crust is golden brown.

Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley (if using), and serve for breakfast, brunch, or as a main course accompanied with a side salad. Enjoy!

👩🏼‍🍳 Expert Tips

• Storage: Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• How to freeze: After quiche is completely cooled, wrap each slice individually in aluminum foil and then place the slices in a freezer-safe bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in refrigerator overnight.
• How to reheat quiche: You can microwave your quiche, but I recommend reheating it in the oven in order to get the optimal flaky texture. See my post on how to reheat quiche for the best methods and detailed instructions.
• Bake quiche until custard is set but slightly jiggly. For perfectly cooked quiche, the custard edges should be set but the middle will still be slightly jiggly. You can use a knife to test the center if you're not sure (the knife should come out clean).
• Whisk those eggs. Make sure you whisk your eggs for a few minutes (2-3) to really incorporate air into them. This will create a light and fluffy custard for our quiche.
• Let it rest. After taking your quiche out of the oven, let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the custard to set up and makes it easier to slice and serve.

🍽 How to Serve Puff Pastry Quiche
