A quick and easy crustless quiche featuring fresh spinach, tangy feta, and a creamy egg base, perfect for brunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped (about 280g)
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (150g)
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half (240ml)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped spinach and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted and most moisture has evaporated. Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half until smooth.
  6. Add a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
  7. Stir the sautéed spinach mixture into the egg mixture.
  8. Fold in 1 cup crumbled feta cheese gently to distribute evenly.
  9. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  10. Pour the egg and spinach mixture into the pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
  11. Place the dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  12. Let the quiche rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use fresh eggs and good-quality feta for best flavor and texture. Avoid overbaking to keep the quiche creamy. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture before cooking. Cover with foil if top browns too quickly.
