What's the difference between a quiche and a pie?

Quiche and pie are very similar! The main difference is that quiche is savory and served as a main dish, and pie is sweet and served as a dessert.

How do you make quiche without milk?

Soy milk and oat milk are two of the most common dairy-free milk substitutes. You want to choose dairy-free milk that is ultra-creamy, like cow's milk would be.

Is it better to use frozen spinach or fresh spinach in quiche?

I prefer to use fresh spinach because I think fresh spinach has a superior taste and texture compared to frozen spinach. Frozen spinach can also be watery, which could give the quiche an unpleasant consistency.

Scale

1 unbaked 9" pie crust

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Start layering your dry ingredients into the bottom of the pie shell. Start with the sausage, then the spinach and then the cheese.
Slowly pour the entire egg mixture over top of the dry ingredients in the pie crust.
Carefully transfer your quiche to the oven and bake for 45-60 minutes. Start checking the quiche at 45 minutes and continue cooking for up to 1 hour. Your quiche is done when it is firm in the center and when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool before serving and enjoy!

Notes

You can use an unbaked homemade pie crust, a premade refrigerated pie crust, or a premade frozen pie crust.
You can choose crumbly chicken, turkey, or pork breakfast sausage.
If you are worried about the quiche spilling when transferring to the oven, you can bake it in a pie plate on top of a rimmed baking sheet.
