| Eggs – to hold the quiche together. |
Spices and flavoring ingredients:
| Greek yogurt – any type of normal or low-fat greek yogurt. You can also use sour cream if you wish. |

Why we love it
Beef and spinach is always a popular combination, and it is no surprise that it works quite well in a quiche as well. A bit of protein and veggies and you have a healthy dish that can be served on any occasion.
The key is to cook the beef in advance because it will not cook sufficiently in the oven. The egg and the pie crust will cook much faster so it is much simpler to cook the beef on a stovetop first and then put it into the quiche.
What to serve with it?
You can serve this beef and spinach quiche with a soup such as homemade carrot soup. You can also serve it with a salad such as this apple feta salad with red onion or a spinach caesar salad.
How to store it?
You can prepare this beef and spinach quiche at least a day in advance. Wait for it to cool to room temperature before putting it in an airtight container in the fridge.
You can also freeze the quiche mixture and use an already frozen crust before filling, so that it won’t absorb as much moisture.
