- Wilt the spinach slightly before adding it to the quiche. This helps to release excess moisture and prevents the quiche from becoming soggy.
- Use fresh basil leaves for the best flavor; incorporating them into the egg mixture ensures even distribution throughout the quiche.
- Let the quiche cool for a few minutes after baking to allow it to set properly before slicing.
