  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine sea salt
  • 8 ounces Baby spinach (any large stems removed)
  • 2 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 5 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
  • 3/4 cup Dairy-free cream alternative

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Skillet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Whisk
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375℉.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the leeks with a pinch of salt until they are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the vegetables, stirring for 1 minute to combine.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, dairy-free cream alternative, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
  6. Stir the shredded dairy-free cheese into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed, then fold in the sautéed leeks and spinach.
  7. Pour the filling into the par-baked gluten-free pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  9. Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep any leftovers tightly sealed in the refrigerator. It can stay fresh for up to three days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the quiche before baking. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. When you’re ready to eat, bake it straight from the freezer.
  • Pairing: Serve your quiche with a light salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
  • Vegetable Variations: Feel free to incorporate seasonal vegetables or whatever you have on hand. Zucchini, bell peppers, or asparagus can all work beautifully.
  • Cheese Alternatives: If you’re not dairy-free, feel free to use regular cheese. Cheddar or feta would add a nice flavor.
  • Herbs and Spices: Add fresh herbs like basil or thyme to enhance the flavor profile. A sprinkle of nutmeg can also add a lovely depth.
