SHOULD I USE A DEEP-DISH PIE PLATE OR A SHALLOW PIE PLATE?
This recipe is designed for a standard deep-dish pie plate that has a depth of 2 to 2.5 inches. There are generally two different pie plates that are sold in stores. One is a standard deep dish, and another is a more shallow dish (1 to 1 1/4 inch deep). With a quiche, you want to make sure you have a good thick layer of filling so a standard deep-dish pie plate will work best.
CAN I ADD A CRUST TO EASY CRUSTLESS SPINACH QUICHE?
Yes! You can easily add a crust to this recipe. Use frozen, pre-made, or make your own fresh. Need a recipe for pie crust? Try this one. Instead of spooning the pie filling into an empty pie plate, you’ll spoon it directly into the crust. No par-baking required.
CAN I USE FRESH SPINACH INSTEAD OF FROZEN AND THAWED?
Yes, you can! For a detailed explanation, please read this article on substituting fresh spinach for frozen. You’ll need to remove stems, cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes, and then (just like frozen) remove as much liquid as possible from it.

- 1 small sweet onion , diced
- 4 ounces mushrooms , sliced
