Spinach and Kale…
A few years ago, we got hooked on making recipes with kale, and some are still our favorites today, like our spinach and kale bites, kale and spinach pesto sauce, and our kale smoothies.
So yes, if you’re thinking what I’m thinking – this is similar to our copycat recipe of Trader Joe’s spinach and kale bites. Only it’s in a quiche!
Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic powder, eggs, and light cream are combined with spinach and kale in this quiche and baked in an already prepared pie crust which helps me speed up the prep time.
Frozen pie crusts come in handy and are great to have on hand in your freezer.
Keep in mind, that the crust may not bake into a “perfect-picture-Pinterest-looking-quality,” but hey,… that’s OK!
It’s the flavor that matters…

Quick Tips, Notes, and Frequent Questions…
- Simple recipes like this spinach and kale quiche come in handy, especially if you need to whip up a quick meal at the spur of the moment.
- Quiches are versatile and can be made with a variety of ingredients.
- However, if you want a perfect crust for your quiche, you will need to bake the crust for a few minutes before the filling goes in. This will ensure your pie crust won’t turn out soggy on the bottom.
- For a crispy crust, you can pre-bake the pie crust using Mrs. Anderson’s pie weights, rice, or dry beans. If using dry beans, discard them after use. It’s totally up to you and a matter of preference.
- What if you don’t have a frozen pie crust? Don’t fret. You can easily make this a crustless quiche! Just follow this recipe and bake the mixture in your pie-baking dish that has been generously buttered. Then bake according to the directions in the recipe card.
- What if you prefer a gluten-free quiche? You can easily use a frozen gluten-free pie crust. They sell them in the freezer section at Whole Foods.
