I have the perfect recipe for a Simple Easy Crustless Spinach Quiche which takes about twenty minutes of prep. With all that time you save making supper, why don’t you go out and build that snowman with the kids? Enjoy winter while it lasts!

There are so many reasons why I love this recipe. First of all, it’s easy. Sometimes, easy is good, especially after a long day at work, bad weather, and traffic. If you have frozen spinach, eggs, cheese and ONE onion, you can make this Simple Easy Crustless Spinach Quiche.

Second of all, it’s versatile. This is a basic recipe that can easily be altered to suit your specific tastes. For example, you can try incorporating sauteed mushrooms, smoked salmon, red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, anything you want! If you have some broccoli rabe, or even Swiss chard, you can use that too. Remember, we need to eat those green leafy vegetables, they’re good for you!

You can also use any combination of cheeses for this recipe. Gruyere, swiss, mozzarella, asiago, cheddar, feta, ricotta, low fat cottage cheese…all give different but wonderful results. You decide.

In this particular quiche, I combined 1 1/2 cups of mozzarella, 1 cup of cheddar and 1/2 cup of ricotta (homemade and well drained).
