I think spinach quiche might have French origins. Quiche Lorraine is pretty famous, though I’m not sure when spinach got added .

Hey! So, spinach quiche is basically a fancy French pie thing that got big in France, especially in the Lorraine region, and it's been around since at least the 16th century. People loved stuffing eggs and cream into a pastry crust, and adding spinach just made it extra tasty and kinda healthy.

While quiche is French, spinach quiche (quiche Florentine) likely originated from Renaissance Italy thanks to Queen Catherine de Medici's love for spinach dishes.
