How to make Savory Spinach and Feta Quiche
The best thing about quiche is that you can serve it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. When I first made this recipe, I only had an hour to spare and it turned out to be a savory holiday hit. This quiche is filled with protein and fiber, which helps satisfy the hungriest of appetites. If you have other vegetables feel free to substitute those for the same amounts listed below. The eggs and spinach are great sources of B vitamins and iron. Eggs are also bursting with vitamin D, zinc, and copper. Spinach is a green leafy powerhouse. It’s packed with calcium, folic acid, potassium, and vitamins C and K. All you need are eggs and a few wholesome ingredients to create this nutritious one-dish meal. Bonus: your guests will think you spent hours cooking in the kitchen.
