Quiche Aux Epinards (Spinach Quiche) image

This is Julia Child's recipe for Spinach Quiche. But of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone . . . just had to add bacon. Ham could also be substituted. Also added a little more cheese. Note: The partially cooked shell may be baked hours ahead of time and the filling prepared and refrigerated in the mixing bowl. Can even be made into tiny quiches for hot hors d'oeuvers.

This quiche was a disaster! The crust was burnt and the filling was runny.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my quiche didn't turn out very well. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

The quiche turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly and it was very easy to make. The only change I made was using a store-bought pie crust to save time. The quiche was a big success at my brunch party and everyone loved it.
