Tips for Crustless Protein-Packed Chicken Quiche

  • A properly set center should look matte rather than wet and wobble only slightly when the dish is nudged.
  • Shred the chicken into small, even pieces so it distributes well and each slice holds together.
  • A shallow baking dish helps the quiche cook evenly; allow extra time if your dish is deep.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc
Its bright acidity balances the creamy cheese and eggs while complementing the chicken and spinach.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot.
