Crustless Spinach Quiche is a delightful dish that's as tasty as it is easy to make. Packed with fresh spinach, a trio of cheeses, and seasoned with a hint of nutmeg, this quiche is a perfect blend of flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion

    finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic

    minced

  • 10 ounces fresh spinach

    roughly chopped

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1½ cups Gruyere cheese

    shredded

  • ½ cup feta cheese

    crumbled

  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese

    grated

  • salt and pepper
    to taste
  • 1 pinch nutmeg

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion and garlic until they’re soft and smelling heavenly, just a couple of minutes. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, which should take about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a mixing bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Stir in the Gruyère, feta, and Parmesan cheeses, along with a pinch of nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper, and whisk it all together.

  4. 4

    Spread your spinach mixture in the prepared pie dish. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the spinach. Give it a gentle stir in the dish to make sure the goodies are evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Pop your dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.

  6. 6

    Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps everything set nicely.
