Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Chicken and Spinach Quiche.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious quiche.
Step 2
Next, take your unbaked pastry shell and sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese evenly across the bottom.
Step 3
This cheesy layer will add a delightful richness to your dish.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, combine diced chicken, chopped spinach, the remaining 3/4 cup of Cheddar cheese, and chopped onion.
Step 5
Give it a good mix until everything is well combined, then gently transfer this flavorful mixture into the prepared pastry shell, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, your favorite seasoning blend, and herbes de Provence.
Step 7
This creamy egg mixture will bring everything together beautifully.
Step 8
Once it’s fully combined, pour it over the chicken and spinach mixture in the pastry shell, allowing it to seep in and create a luscious filling.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to bake! Place your quiche in the preheated oven and let it bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
Step 10
You’ll know it’s ready when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that the filling is perfectly set.
Step 11
Once it’s done, resist the urge to dive in right away; let the quiche stand for about 15 minutes.
Step 12
This resting time allows the flavors to meld and makes slicing easier.
Step 13
Finally, slice up your quiche and serve it warm, enjoying the delightful combination of flavors in every bite.
Step 14
Whether it’s for brunch or a cozy dinner, this quiche is sure to impress!.
