If the spinach is frozen, ensure it's thoroughly thawed. Place spinach in a sieve and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial to prevent a soggy quiche.

In a plastic bag, combine the diced Swiss cheese and flour. Seal the bag and shake well until the cheese is evenly coated with flour. This helps to prevent the cheese from sinking to the bottom of the quiche during baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
08 Step

10 mins
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set further and makes it easier to cut.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a finely chopped shallot to the spinach mixture.
If you don't have Swiss cheese, Gruyere or Fontina cheese are excellent substitutes.
To prevent the crust from burning, you can cover the edges with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until warmed through.
