This is a lighter option for those of you who might be craving quiche. There is no crust at all in this quiche! The filling is baked directly into the pie plate, and it cooks up just like regular quiche but without the crust. You’ll end up with slices of delicious quiche that come out of the pie plate as cleanly as a piece of pie. Spinach and egg with a mixture of cheeses… this is a delicious combination of flavors.

How to make Crustless Spinach and Cheese Quiche:

You’ll start by sautéing onions, spinach and garlic in a pan- just enough to cook the onions and wilt the spinach. In a bowl, you’ll combine eggs with seasonings and four cheeses! Low fat ricotta cheese, Swiss cheese, feta cheese and Parmesan cheese are all added in to this quiche filling to make it extra cheesy and amazing. That’s all you need for this quiche. The filling is poured into the pie plate, and it bakes for about 40 minutes.

Ingredient note:

This recipe calls for using Spike seasoning. This is an all-purpose seasoning that you can find in the spice aisle of USA markets. It has a ton of different spices and flavors in it, so it’s great to use in recipes and it’s an especially good addition to eggs. If you don’t wish to use this seasoning, you can use another spice blend. Or just sprinkle in a little garlic powder, onion powder and freshly ground pepper.

Well, the obvious choice for why you’d want to bake a crustless spinach and cheese quiche is to cut down on the carbs. No crust means a lot fewer carbohydrates will be in this quiche. You also might be gluten free, so baking a crustless quiche is a good option for those who have celiac disease or for those who are gluten intolerant. This recipe calls for Worcestershire sauce, so if you can’t have gluten then you need to make sure you’re using a brand that is known to be gluten-free.

    Use this recipe as a guide, but the ending results are marvelous!!! I used 4 eggs, sautéed red, yellow and orange peppers, minced garlic, onions and spinach. Used pink sea salt, pepper and 1/2tbsp soy sauce and 5oz of freshly shaved parmesan, romano & asiago cheese.

    What is spike seasoning?? I have never heard of that

    1. Lori Lange says:

      It’s in the spices aisle… by seasoned salts and things like that.

    Easy and very tasty!

    I swapped out a few ingredients based on what I had:

    –added 8 slices chopped, cooked turkey bacon
    –used 8 sliced sauteed mushrooms in place of the onions
    –4 eggs (rather than 3)
    –feta: reduced fat tomato and basil flavor
    –one 6oz package of baby spinach

    Wonderful Christmas morning meal with toast and fruit!
