Remove quiche from oven and let cool for about an hour (to set).

NOTES

🥕Important – The volume of spinach will reduce a lot when cooked. You’ll need approx. 1.5 pounds fresh spinach, which will yield about 1.5 cups cooked. Make sure to thoroughly drain any excess liquid from the spinach before adding other ingredients.

🥕JUST egg vegan egg substitute is a key ingredient in this recipe. I’ve tried others, but this is the one I’ve had the most success with in this recipe. If you can’t find it in a local store or on Amazon, check the JUST egg company website.
