I am always looking for a quick and easy recipe, using staples and leftovers in my kitchen. This recipe can be adjusted, depending on the leftovers or fresh ingredients available. I have given four filling ideas below, but feel free to experiment with other options as well. This recipe takes approximately 45 minutes (including baking time). It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. I often serve the spinach and feta quiche with onion marmelade and a big salad.
