What Kind of Spinach Should I Use?
Fresh baby spinach is ideal for this quiche because it wilts quickly and has a mild flavor. If you only have frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and squeeze out all the excess moisture to avoid a watery quiche.
Ingredients for the Crustless Spinach, Tomato & Feta Quiche
- Eggs: They form the custardy base and hold everything together.
- Milk: Adds creaminess; you can use whole milk or a mix of milk and cream.
- Feta Cheese: Provides a tangy, salty bite that contrasts beautifully with the sweet tomatoes.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Burst with flavor and add juiciness to the texture.
- Spinach: A mild green that complements the richness of the other ingredients.
- Onion or Shallot (optional): Adds depth of flavor if you want an aromatic base.
- Salt & Pepper: To season and enhance the flavors.
- Olive Oil or Butter: For sautéing the spinach or onions if needed.
How To Make the Crustless Spinach, Tomato & Feta Quiche
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Step 2: Sauté the Spinach
In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil and sauté the spinach (and onion or shallot if using) until wilted and soft. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 3: Whisk the Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
Step 4: Assemble the Quiche
Spread the sautéed spinach mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Crumble the feta over the top, and scatter cherry tomato halves throughout. Pour the egg mixture gently over everything, letting it settle evenly.
Step 5: Bake Until Set
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
How to Serve and Store This Crustless Spinach, Tomato & Feta Quiche
This quiche is delicious warm, at room temperature, or even chilled straight from the fridge. It pairs beautifully with a green salad, roasted potatoes, or a light soup for a balanced meal. It’s ideal for brunch gatherings or as a protein-packed lunchbox option.
To store, refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat slices gently in the microwave or a low oven. You can also freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic and foil for up to 2 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen spinach?
Yes, just make sure to thaw and squeeze it thoroughly to remove excess water, which can make the quiche soggy.
What kind of cheese can I substitute for feta?
Goat cheese, ricotta salata, or even shredded mozzarella can be used if you prefer a different flavor profile.
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Absolutely! Bake the quiche, let it cool, then refrigerate. Reheat individual slices as needed throughout the week.
How do I know when the quiche is done?
The center should be set and not jiggly. A toothpick inserted should come out clean. The top will be lightly golden.
Do I need to grease the pan?
Yes, even without a crust, greasing the pan prevents sticking and makes serving easier.
Can I add other vegetables?
Of course! Sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini are great additions to customize your quiche.
