Ingredients & Substitutions
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for this easy crustless spinach quiche recipe, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see therecipe card below。
- Olive Oil– Use your favorite extra-virgin olive oil, or any neutral cooking oil. Avocado oil would work as well.
- Onion– I used a yellow onion, but a white onion would work as well.
- Garlic– Fresh garlic gives the best flavor, but you could substitute 2 teaspoonsjarred minced garlicor 1/2 teaspoongarlic powderfor convenience.
- Fresh Spinach– I prefer a quiche with fresh spinach, but you could use frozen spinach instead. If using frozen spinach, you need to thaw it first, drain the excess water, and then proceed with step two in the recipe. The amount needed would be 20 ounces of frozen spinach, which, once thawed, measures almost 2 cups.
- Eggs——在烘焙室温鸡蛋效果最好。集合the eggs on the counter for about 30 minutes before using, or if you forget, submerge them in warm water for a few minutes to bring to room temp.
- Heavy Cream– You’ll get the richest texture with cream, but you can also use whole milk, or plainalmond milkor canned coconut milk for dairy free options.
- Sea Salt & Black Pepper
- Baking Powder– Although optional, I recommend using baking powder for a fluffier quiche.
- Cheese– I used a combination of Swiss cheese and cheddar cheese in this recipe for spinach quiche. See more cheese ideas below. (You can substitute a vegan cheese alternative if you need a dairy-free option.)

Recipe Variations
- Make A Crust美味的——在这个经典的瞿菠菜iche, try this recipe with your favorite savory pie crust. I likealmond flour pie crustorcoconut flour pie crust, but any kind you like will work. Par baking it first will ensure it doesn’t become soggy. To allow for the perfect amount of filling, reduce the number of eggs by 1 and lower the amount of cream to 1/4 cup.
- Spinach And Mushroom Quiche– If you want a heartier quiche, add 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms of your choice (try cremini, shiitake, button and/or oyster mushrooms). Cook them in the skillet after the onions and before adding the spinach.
- Add Protein– If you want to add a protein to this crustless spinach quiche, try bacon. Makebacon in the oven, slices ofair fryer bacon, or quickmicrowave baconand break it up into small pieces to create a spinach bacon quiche. Or, add some diced ham to make a ham and spinach quiche. Ground sausage, similar to mysausage egg muffins, would also work well.
- Swap Cheeses– I used a combination of Swiss cheese and cheddar cheese for this spinach quiche recipe, but you can try feta (a spinach and feta quiche would be delicious), Gruyère, parmesan cheese, or mozzarella. Soft or hard cheeses both work great.
- Use Other Veggies– Replace up to 1 1/2 cups of the spinach with other cooked vegetables. Tryroasted asparagus, leftovercaramelized onions, small pieces ofroasted broccoli, or a few cubes ofroasted sweet potatoes。
Storage Instructions
- Store:Keep leftovers covered in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
- Meal prep:Spinache quiche recipes are great options when meal prepping since they store well. Alternatively, you can cook the vegetable mixture ahead and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- Reheat:You can warm up individual slices in the microwave, or reheat the entire quiche in the oven at 350 degrees F, until warm.
- Freeze:Let the spinach egg quiche cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil before placing in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

0This is a great recipe, but I’m wondering how to keep the quiche from sticking to the sides and bottom of the baking dish. Help?

0Hi Ellen, You can grease the pan to make sure the quiche doesn’t stick.
Claire
0This was just delicious!!
I had some Gruyère left from a fondue, so we used that along with swiss and cheddar cheese.
So much flavor and the kids loved it so much they asked for it in their lunchbox.
Going to make it again and add some bacon
