Spinach and Feta Quiche
Do you know anyone who hates feta?
Well you don't need to look very far. My whole family except for my dad HATED feta. We just could not get on board. I didn't like cottage cheese, and feta cheese reminded me of the traumatic experience in my school where we had to drink cottage cheese smoothies.
To this day, I shudder at that memory.
With my dad's insistence, we went to more and more Greek restaurants, and I have come to love the taste of feta cheese. Not so much cottage cheese, unless it's pureed and put in pancakes. But give me spanakopita, Greek salad and feta crepes any day, and they will be gone within seconds.
I should dub myself the feta fiend from now on.
This week I had a ridiculous craving for feta. I'm not one to have cravings, but this one came on hard and strong. So while I'm throwing tubs of feta into my shopping cart thinking about what I can make with it, I see that eggs are on sale. Eggs. On sale! When does that ever happen?
That is when I decided, there and then, that I was to make a quiche. Because quiche might be one of my favorite types of food to make. It's so easy, but it tastes so good! Especially the leftovers.
One of my favorite combination of ingredients is spinach and feta. The first time I tried these two ingredients together is when I bought a spinach and feta crepe at a restaurant in Vancouver. Ever since then, I went back to that restaurant multiple times to order the exact same thing: the spinach and feta crepe.
This Spinach and Feta Quiche is the next best thing. But all this talk of spinach and feta crepes is making me want to make some...

My favorite quiche definitely has to have spinach in it. This is better, spinach and feta. I love trying different combinations and flavors of quiche every week and this is going on my next week's list. Love the recipe
Yay! I hope you do! This one is so good 🙂
Love the combo of spinach and feta in quiche! I make a very similar one every year for our annual picnic with the girls! It's such a perfect dish to prepare in advance and enjoy either hot or cold!
Great minds think alike 🙂 I actually prefer it cold!
Spinach and Feta are some of my favorite flavors. This looks delicious.
Thanks Kallee!!
I can't imagine not loving feta! It really gives this quiche such amazing flavor. Thanks for sharing! I'll use this recipe again and again.
I think I used to think it was too salty. As though there is such a thing!
spinach and feta are the perfect pair! I love them in a quiche too, an easy dinner, breakfast or brunch idea!
I have been making it so often lately 🙂
This looks delicious - feta is one of my favorite cheeses, I can't wait to try this! So perfect for an evening meal on warm days!
Me too! Thanks Carrie 🙂
I'm not sure about that cottage cheese smoothie... I shudder at that too. But this quiche looks amazing! I am all about feta and spinach, I MUST make this!
The feta and spinach combo is one of my favourites!! I hope you give it a go Denise!
I like feta when it's in things, but not usually when it's on top of things - so weird, I know. We've been doing a lot of quiches and egg white omelettes recently, going to add this to our rotation!
Yay! Let me know if you give it a go Leslie!
OMG. Cottage cheese smoothies? Yikes. I love cottage cheese but never would have thought of making a smoothie out of it and I'd shudder too! Your spinach and feta quiche looks outstanding. I love how flavorful and delicious it looks!! Hubby loves feta, (I simply like it) and will be trying this soon!
Yeah, I was not a fan!
I hope you try it out. Maybe your like will turn it into a love <3
I think a little cottage cheese would be good to cut down on the saltiness of the feta and to add more calcium! 🙂
I don`t like feta, but hey, I dont like cheese in general. LOL. But, why in the world would they feed you cottage cheese smoothies?!? At least this quiche looks great!
I like feta, but I do not like blue or gorgonzola. Yucky! Also, who would make children drink cottage cheese smoothie? That is weird.
I love spinach and feta together and they go perfectly with eggs. This looks like a delicious quiche!
I absolutely love spinach in just about everything. This looks amazing. Thanks for sharing this recipe
YUM, this sounds delicious, I can honestly say I don't know one feta hater, that's good, right?
