    It is no surprise that we love all quiche recipes around here at Fueling a Southern Soul. Any kind of savory breakfast recipes, especially those nestled inside a flaky homemade  Southern-style pie crust is a win over here! Caramelized onion and spinach quiche has been a fan-favorite recipe here at Fueling a Southern Soul for years.

    I have been making quice since I was in high school and one of the things I love most about it is it's super easy to make and requires just one bowl. You can use a store-bought pie crust if you would like but I'll show you how to make a homemade version too - it's a flavor game-changer! Let me walk you through step by step of the process!

    Pie Crust Options

    You have two different options when it comes to a pie crust for veggie quiche. You can make a homemade version or buy a premade frozen pie shell. While the store-bought pie crust may be in your comfort zone and "easier", I highly suggest you try your hand at a homemade version! It is 10x better - PROMISE! I walk you through how to make it in my homemade flaky pie crust recipe. Give it a try!

    Prepping Your Pie Crust

    To begin the recipe, you will first need to blind-bake your pie crust.

    What does blind baking a pie crust mean? Blind baking a pie crust is the process of partially cooking a crust in its shell without a filling inside. You do this for any liquid or custard-based quiches or pies because they are liquid fillings. If you were to place a liquid filling in an unbaked pie crust and bake it, the bottom of the pie crust would never be able to fully bake and still be raw. By blind baking it by itself, you ensure that the bottom of the crust gets baked for those types of recipes.

    You will need to use pie weights, or better yet, just buy a bag of dried pinto beans and designate them to be your "baking beans" used only for this recipe (my mom and I have ours stored in a mason jar). You will need the weight of the beans on top of the crust to ensure an even bake on the bottom without any air bubbles forming.

    Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove the beans and proceed with the rest of the recipe.

    You will need to use this method for both a homemade pie crust AND a premade frozen pie crust shell.

    How to Make

    Spinach sautéing on a stove with some butter in a pan.
    In a large skillet over medium heat, add butter and spinach. Sautee down until the spinach is wilted for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

     In a large bowl, add egg whites, milk, roasted red peppers (diced if in large pieces), crumbled feta, sauteed spinach, and spices.

    Pour carefully into the blind-baked pie crust and place into the oven to bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until the middle is set and doesn't jiggle anymore.

    ⭐️ Pro tip in regards to feta cheese: After testing this recipe out a bunch of times, I recommend you buy a block of feta and break off pieces/crumbles yourself instead of using already crumbled feta. The block of feta I find is usually more creamy and yields a better flavor and texture in my opinion. The crumbled kind can be used if desired, I just personally think crumbling it yourself from a block of feta is the best way to make this recipe.

    Egg white quiche is a great dish to make ahead of time for any special occasion you may need it for - the holidays, a brunch, a bridal or wedding shower, or to have on hand for breakfast during the week!

    How to Make 1 Day in Advance: Prep and bake according to directions. Cool and place covered in the fridge for 24 hours. When ready to serve, remove it from the fridge. This can be served cold, at room temp, or, if you would like it warm, place it in a 200-degree oven for about 10-20 minutes until gently warmed back up!

    Description

    Roasted Red Pepper and Spinach Egg White Quiche is a delightful breakfast or brunch option. Made with a buttery homemade pie crust, the flavor combination of roasted red peppers and spinach is paired perfectly with creamy feta cheese. This quiche is a crowd-pleaser that adds a touch of elegance to any morning spread.


    Ingredients

    Scale

    Pie Crust

    • 1 Homemade Pie Crust Recipe
    • Or 1 Store-Bought Pie Crust

    Egg Mixture

    • 2 Tablespoons Butter
    • 5 Ounces Fresh Spinach
    • 1 ½ Cups Eggs Whites - or 8 egg whites
    • ½ Cup Milk
    • 12 Ounces Roasted Red Peppers - chop if needed
    • 4 Ounces Feta - crumble yourself from a block
    • ½ Teaspoon Salt
    • ¼ Teaspoon Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
    • ¼ t Red Pepper Flakes

    Instructions

    Pie Crust

    1. Follow the instructions for how to make a homemade pie crust here OR 1 premade frozen pie crust shell.
    2. BLIND BAKE (for both homemade and premade crust):  Prick the bottom of the pie shell with a fork and place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper over the top, larger than the actual pie plate. Place pie weights or dried beans over top of the paper and spread evenly over the bottom of the shell, making sure to get all the way to the edges and sides. Place in the oven at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Once finished, remove and let cool until the quiche mixture is ready. Remove the pie weights once cooled down a bit. Proceed with the recipe.

    Egg Mixture

    1. Preheat oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
    2. Sautee spinach. In a large skillet over medium heat, add butter and spinach. Sautee down until the spinach is wilted for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. 
    3. Make egg mixture. In a large bowl, add egg whites, milk, roasted red peppers (diced if in large pieces), crumbled feta, sauteed spinach, and spices. 
    4. Bake. Pour carefully into the blind-baked pie crust and place into the oven to bake for 55-60 minutes or until the middle is set and doesn't jiggle anymore. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

    Notes

    • Homemade pie crust can be made up to 2 days before needed. Blind bake and cool completely. Keep stored in the fridge until needed for the quiche.
    • Keep leftovers stored covered airtight in the fridge for 3-4 days.
