Lucky Spinach Quiche

Recipe Description

You don’t need to be Irish to make this Lucky Spinach Quiche! It is so simple and it tastes so good. This flaky, buttery pastry filled with spinach and oozy cheese is great for your next St. Patrick’s Day party or a casual family get-together. And you don’t even need a clover-shaped pan to make this recipe. A disposable aluminum foil cup easily helps turn the spinach quiche into a lucky four-leaf clover. 

For this recipe, I use homemade pâte brisée. This French-style pie crust has finer, more delicate crumb than the traditional American-style pie crust. Homemade pie crust is beyond delicious, but you can use store-bought as well to make the recipe really simple. Frozen chopped spinach also makes the recipe easy. Make sure to wring out any excess moisture from the spinach before using it.

To make Lucky Spinach Quiche, you will need the following ingredients:

  1. 1

    5 min
    Step 1 - Lucky Spinach QuicheStep 1 - Lucky Spinach Quiche

    Mix 2 ½ cups flour with 1 teaspoon salt. Cut 1 cup butter into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles a coarse meal. Add ¼ to ½ cup ice water, a little at a time, mixing until the dough sticks together. Transfer the dough onto an un-floured surface and form a pile. Use a heel of your hand to gently push and smear the dough away from you. Aim for long alternating strands of butter and dough.

  2. 2

    Chill

    1h
    Step 2 - Lucky Spinach Quiche

    Gather the dough together and need it briefly into a ball. Split the dough in two. Wrap each half in plastic and flatten each into a disc. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until ready to use. Save one dough disc for another use.

  3. 3

    Shape aluminum foil cups into clover leaf

    3 min
    Step 3 - Lucky Spinach Quiche

    Gently pull on one edge of a muffin cup and then crease the sides to form the cup into a raindrop shape. Repeat with the rest of the muffin cups. Lightly spray 8 muffin cups.

    Line cups with dough

    15 min

    Place a square of dough in each shaped muffin cup. Gently press the dough into the muffin cups and trim off extra dough. Prick with a fork the interior of each crust. Using the fork tines, press into the top edge of the crusts. Transfer to the fridge for 10 minutes.

I made this Lucky Spinach Quiche for a family brunch, and it was a hit! The flaky crust and cheesy filling were perfect. I used frozen spinach, which made it super easy. Even my husband, who's not a fan of greens, loved it. Simple to make and delicious, it will be a regular in our home.
