Did you hear? According to Punxsutawney Phil, there will be six more weeks of winter! Can’t hop on a plane and head to Florida, so might as well make the best of it. 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).

  1. I’ve been searching for a great crustless quiche that will satisfy the men in my life. After trying two other versions this recipe hit the mark!!! My son asked me if I could always make it this way 😀
    I did cut the cheese to 2 cups and added 3 Tbsp of half n’ half. Other than that I stuck with the recipe. It was perfect and made for a delicious meatless meal. For my hearty eaters I paired the quiche with roasted red potatoes and vegetarian baked beans. For a lighter version I would pair it with mixed greens and sliced avocado. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!

  2. My family loved this recipe! I added an extra egg, subbed garlic powder and dried parsley but otherwise prepared as written. Next time I will use a bigger pan and even more eggs.

    • Hi Heather,
      That’s a great question…I have not tried to make it ahead. But I have frozen it in a “mini-quiche” form after I’ve baked it…and then its just a matter of reheating in the oven. Thanks for your comment 🙂

      Reply

    • Yes you can make it ahead. Did all the prep the night before. Got up preheated oven and baked for 30 minutes. Perfect!

    • Hi Jennifer, I have never made this quiche without the yolks, but my guess is that the final product should still be great since it is the egg whites which provide the structure to the quiche. I would use the same amount as indicated in the recipe. Great question! If you decide to try it, would love to hear about it! Thanks so much for dropping by. Have a great day ♥

  12. Delicious. I really enjoyed this dish and am planning to make it again this weekend! Thanks for a great recipe. ????

    • My pleasure Stephanie… glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Have a wonderful week-end ♥

  13. I just made this with egg whites only, frozen spinach (thawed and drained), reduced cheese of 1/2 cup part skim shreaded mozzarella and 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese, and dried parsley instead of fresh…turned out delicious. Thank you for the base recipe!

  14. I also love biscotti, and I love to cook. Like most Italian Americans I need to feed others. It’s a compulsion ! What can I say. This recipe is just what I’ve been looking for. The fresh spinich is a plus !

    • lol… birds of a feather… This recipe is a weekly occurrence in my family… I especially love it when there are leftovers… makes for an easy lunch. Hope you like the recipe. Marian, thanks so much for taking the time to comment and bringing a smile to my face. Have a great evening 🙂

  15. This crustless quiche looks awesome and I can’t wait to make it. However, I am concerned about the amount of cheese. Could I add more eggs or some milk and less cheese ?

    Reply

    • Hi Sandy, Yes, I think that would work. The recipe is extremely adaptable. If you are concerned about the total amount of cheese, I would decrease it by about 1 cup, and try adding another vegetable like mushrooms. You can also use up to 1/2 cup of a low fat cottage cheese (drained) in your mixture. Let me know if you have other concerns. Appreciate your comment ♥

  17. I made my spinach crustless quiche
    It came out yummy ty I wanted to leave a picture of it but I didn’t see what I could

    Reply

  18. I use 3/4 cup of milk in my quiche it’s the same recipe but mine’s have milk in it so next time I’m going to make it without the milk

  19. I made the quiche yesterday. It came out delicious. All you could hear from my guests was, “amazing. delicious, insane, I’m making this.” 🙂 People had seconds an thirds. I prepared the spinach filling the day before and made the quiche fresh before my guests arrived. This is easy to make. It’s a keeper. Thank you

    • Fantastic Lili! I am thrilled to hear. Thanks so much for taking the time to write back to me. Have a great evening 🙂

      Reply

    • Yup, the whole bag. As the spinach cooks, there is some water loss and the leaves wilt, causing a big reduction in volume. Thanks for dropping by 🙂

  21. We have been trying to increase our spinach intake and are tired of sauteed! Tried several creamed and crustless quiches. Made this 8/9/2017. Yours is excellent. I used ½ cheddar & ½ Monterrey jack cheese. Might be pretty to add sauteed red bell peppers or pimento. Three of us ate half the dish. Gonna warm up the leftover & add cheese, roll up in a warm tortilla for breakfast!

    • So glad you enjoyed the quiche Martha! The red peppers/pimento will definitely give the quiche a festive touch! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. Have a great week-end 🙂

  22. Would love to try your recipe. Can you please tell me if I were to use mushrooms do they need to be pre-sautéed prior to adding to the recipe? Or can they be used raw in the recipe? My concern is that they will release water if they are placed in raw and make the quiche soggy. Thank you for anything feedback.

    Reply

  25. Well, I added sliced Mushrooms…sautéed with onions. I also added a cup of Parmesan cheese in addition to the 3 cups of Mozzarella cheese. Wonderful recipe!!

    Reply

  26. Making this now, used some half n half, about a cup of chopped brie, a small winter pattypan squash, arugala and topped with cherry tomatoes. Baking in a 8 x 8 square pyrex… hoping for a yummy meal!

    Reply

  28. I was low on cheddar, so made up the difference with 4 oz cream cheese. Whoa! Simple AND delicious! That’s my kinda cookin♥

    Reply

  29. I’m looking to serve this to a group of 20, can it be doubled or tripled and baked in a large Pyrex’s.

    Reply

    • Hi Lori, I would think that you should be okay with doubling the recipe… make sure you balance out the cheeses that you will use (watch the total salt content and texture of the cheeses). You may have to adjust for baking time depending on the sizes of your Pyrex dishes. Have fun planning your big get together! Thanks for dropping by 🙂

  30. Excited!
    Used half cheddar/ half shredded mozzarella, and added just a bit of light cream. It’s in the oven now, and it smell delish. I used fresh spinach, not frozen , cause that’s what I had.
    Cant wait!
    Thanks for sharing!!!

  36. This is indeed easy and VERY delicious! I used a combination of swiss cheese, mozzarella and soft goat cheese for a creamy, melt in your mouth taste. Thanks for sharing this, its the best spinach quiche I’ve ever made and I’ve been looking for a really great crustless one for a low GI approach – look no more, this is it!
