Spinach Quiche Recipe

These spinach quiche recipes are real winners. They made me fall in love with spinach. I never liked spinach when I was a little girl. Even though Popeye ate it, I didn’t care, I still didn’t like it. That is until I met up with a spinach quiche recipe. Then I came to love spinach.

Now I use spinach in numerous dishes that I prepare. I put it in rice. I Add it to pasta dishes. Add it to scrambled eggs. Or, I just steam it and pour some olive oil and Parmesan cheese over the top. It’s uses are many and it really adds a great flavor to many of my old favorites.

It is also a highly nutritious vegetable. It is Extremely rich in antioxidants and vitamins A, C, E, K, B2, B6, maganese, folate and folic acid just to name a few. One cup of spinach has nearly 20% of the RDA (recommended daily amount or allowance) of dietary fiber. Spinach is also proved to be of significant protection against prostate cancer. It has extemely high amounts of Vitamin A (one cup contains 337% of the RDA).

So try this quiche and see how your family’s feelings may change about spinach.

Notes

NOTE: I find that oven temperatures vary extensively. You may find that a 375 degree oven is too hot for your quiche. If that is the case, try cooking the quiche at 350 degrees.
