Ingredient Notes
- Crust: I actually just like the frozen Pillsbury Common Pie Crusts as a result of they style nice in recipes and are fairly simple to seek out. For those who use a distinct model I like to recommend ensuring to make use of an everyday (not deep dish) crust. At any time when I publish a quiche recipe utilizing a pie crust I’ve readers ask if they’ll make it crustless, however the ingredient ratios listed below are actually meant to go in a crust. I do have crustless quiche and frittata recipes out there although!
- Prosciutto: I take advantage of thinly sliced prosciutto on this recipe, which I simply chopped into small items. Prosciutto is a sort of cured ham, and it must be fairly simple to seek out in well-stocked grocery shops. When you have bother, you could possibly all the time substitute one other meat equivalent to deli ham, or cooked bacon. I do advocate utilizing the prosciutto although, it’s scrumptious!
- Spinach: I like to make use of recent spinach after I can, and I did on this recipe. Nevertheless, I do assume frozen chopped spinach will work fantastic. You’ll need to thaw it and squeeze out as a lot extra liquid as attainable earlier than utilizing. No have to sauté it to wilt just like the recent selection. As for an quantity as soon as it’s squeezed dry, I’d say someplace between ¼ – ½ cup relying in your choice.
- Shredded Cheese: I used 2% milk Mozzarella on this recipe together with the Goat cheese, however when you have one other cheese readily available you assume would complement the flavors you may substitute it for the Mozzarella! I do assume shredded Parmesan can be tasty!
- Goat Cheese: I like goat cheese, however my husband isn’t an enormous fan and he nonetheless actually favored this quiche! For those who don’t need to use it, you may substitute one other crumbly cheese like Feta or add extra shredded cheese should you like.
