Description
The Savory Crustless Spinach Quiche is a health-conscious twist on the classic French dish, featuring a rich, custardy filling brimming with fresh spinach and a harmonious blend of cheeses, all without the traditional pastry crust.
Ingredients
- 🌱 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and excess water squeezed out
- 🥚 6 large eggs
- 🥣 1 cup sour cream (whole milk Greek yogurt can be a substitute for a lighter version)
- 🧂 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 🌑 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 🧄 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 🧅 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 🌿 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 🧀 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan.
Spinach Prep:
- Thaw the spinach and squeeze out all excess water with a kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial to avoid a watery quiche.
Mix the Batter:
- Whisk together eggs, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme until combined. Stir in the dry spinach and Parmesan cheese.
Pour and Bake:
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche sets and is lightly golden on top. A knife inserted should come out clean.
Cool and Serve:
- Let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
This crustless spinach quiche is a wonderful meal option for any time of the day, offering a blend of nutrition, flavor, and ease of preparation. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner, paired with a salad or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy the creamy, savory goodness!
