For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the chopped onion in a little butter until softened before adding it to the quiche. To ensure the spinach is properly drained, squeeze out any excess moisture after thawing. If the crust starts to brown too quickly during the final baking stage, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Quiche can be made ahead of time and reheated. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Experiment with different cheeses such as Gruyere, Swiss, or Monterey Jack for a unique flavor profile. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for a warm, aromatic touch.
