After bringing Olivia home, one of our fave meal train dishes was a spinach quiche, which is what inspired me to create my own #dairyfree + #vegetarian version! 🍳🌿💃🏻 Quiche is obviously great for anyone… but it’s amazing for new parents because 1) It can be served for any meal… breakfast, lunch or dinner. 2) It can be eaten cold, straight from the fridge or reheated. 3) You can eat it with one hand! 💯 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Most quiches are loaded with dairy for added flavor and creaminess, but not this one! I wanted to make this recipe dairy-free and let me tell ya, you won’t miss the dairy one bit! It’s still super creamy and loaded with tons of flavor without any cheese OR milk. Can I get an amen?! 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This quiche is super simple to whip up, especially if you take the pre-made pie crust route, which I recommend doing. I used @whollywholesome’s frozen pie crust and it was delicious (they also have a gluten-free version for all my GF peeps out there). The recipe calls for frozen spinach, but fresh spinach works too! Just remember, if you’re using frozen spinach, you’ll need to thaw it and squeeze out all the excess moisture prior to adding it to the quiche. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a liquidy and soggy quiche. No thank you! 🙅🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Full recipe is linked in my bio for ya (@eatingbirdfood
