Spinach Artichoke Quiche
This creamy spinach artichoke quiche is perfect for a make ahead brunch!
Most likely you have already decided what you are making this Easter Weekend. Or perhaps, you are like me. Perhaps you’ve had some bad kitchen karma, or perhaps you are woefully disorganized and you still thought it was, like, January. In an effort to keep things simple and stick with what I know, my Easter offering will be the humble quiche.
Its a crowd pleaser, it can be made ahead of time, and its virtually impossible to botch up. Plus we all need a little savory to balance out those sweet treats right? The filling is another classic pairing- spinach and artichoke, with a hefty amount of cheese for good measure. I love using my favourite whole wheat crust for this, but obviously any quiche crust you like would work. What are you making for Easter?!
Enjoy!
- Crust:
- 1½ cups whole wheat flour
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp sea salt
- Filling:
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 cup cheddar (or other strong tasting cheese, divided)
- 1 cup chopped frozen spinach, defrosted and with the excess moisture squeezed out
- 1 cup artichoke hearts (I typically use frozen, and defrost them)
- Preheat oven to 375F/190C
- Combine all of the crust ingredients in a bowl, and whisk together using a fork. Press into a 9 inch pie dish, and pop into the fridge while you prepare your filling
- Place the artichoke hearts into the bottom of the crust, evenly spaced
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, and cayenne pepper if using. Stir in ¾ of the cheese, and the spinach (make sure the spinach has as much of the excess moisture squeezed out of it as possible)
- Place the artichoke hearts in the bottom of the crust, and pour the filling over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the filling
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the filling is set

I’m heading off to my in-laws for Easter Sunday so I don’t need to worry about what to cook 🙂
I love the idea of using frozen spinach and artichokes in the quiche as the other ingredients are things I always have in the house and there’s nothing better than having no idea what to cook for dinner and finding everything you need tucked away in the kitchen somewhere.
I love the spinach + artichoke combo! It’s always YUMMY!
Oh my gosh! YUM! What a lovely brunch recipe! SO perfect for Easter! Also, I love that you added artichokes! Such a fun idea!

Thanks Sam!
What a lovely quiche and would be perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch!
Can this be made ahead of time?
Absolutely!
This recipe saved me today! I was going to make a spinach sundried tomatoe quiche but my tomatoes had gone bad so I had to quickly find an alternate recipe using what I had on hand (artichokes and spinach). I used a frozen crust, fresh spinach instead of frozen and parmesan cheese and it came out perfect 🙂 thank you!
Yay! Thanks Heather 🙂
