FLUFFY SPINACH, ONION AND ROASTED RED PEPPER QUICHE WITH GRUYERE



Fluffy Spinach, Onion and Roasted Red Pepper Quiche With Gruyere image

In my quest to find out what makes a quiche fluffy, I've cobbled together this recipe. And it makes a great tasting quiche with a beautiful presentation. The key (surprisingly) is not to overbeat the eggs, not to use too hot of an oven, and don't overdue the liquids.
