Description
This Crustless Spinach Quiche is a light, fluffy, and flavorful dish made with fresh spinach, eggs, and cheese — all baked to golden perfection without the fuss of a crust. It’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a healthy low-carb dinner.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Swiss, mozzarella, or cheddar)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Stir in the cooked spinach mixture and shredded cheese.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use frozen spinach if preferred — just thaw and squeeze out excess water first.
- Add-ins like mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked bacon can enhance flavor.
- Great for meal prep — stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Serve with a side salad or fruit for a complete meal.
