Description
This crustless spinach quiche is a light, wholesome, and protein-packed dish that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or meal prep. Made with fresh spinach, a trio of cheeses, and fluffy eggs, it bakes up golden on top and creamy in the middle — without the need for a crust. Easy to customize with your favorite mix-ins and ideal for make-ahead mornings.
Ingredients
5–6 cups fresh spinach, chopped (or 10 oz frozen, thawed and drained)
6 large eggs
¾ cup milk (whole or 2%)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Optional add-ins: sautéed mushrooms, diced bell peppers, or crumbled bacon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Sauté chopped spinach in a skillet for 2–3 minutes until wilted. (If using frozen, skip sautéing but squeeze out all moisture.)
Add olive oil or butter to the pan, then cook onions over medium heat until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Stir in spinach, onions, mozzarella, Swiss, and Parmesan. Add any extras you like.
Pour mixture into prepared dish and smooth the top evenly.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and set in the center.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
Freezing: Wrap slices tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat straight from frozen.
Variations: Swap cheeses (feta, cheddar, Gruyère) or add proteins like diced ham or smoked salmon.
Dairy-free option: Use almond or oat milk and dairy-free cheese alternatives.
