Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ small red onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil or butter.
- Set aside while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Cook the Vegetables - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add diced red onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
- Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
- Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture - Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl.
- Add milk and heavy cream.
- Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Add dried oregano, black pepper, smoked paprika, and salt.
- Stir in shredded mozzarella and half of the crumbled feta.
Step 4: Assemble the Quiche - Spread the cooked spinach and sun-dried tomato mixture evenly across the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.
- Sprinkle the remaining feta cheese evenly on top.
- Gently tap the dish on the counter to remove large air pockets.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden - Place the dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set.
- The top should be lightly golden, and a knife inserted near the center should come out without liquid egg mixture.
- The center should reach 160°F (71°C).
- If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
Step 6: Rest and Serve - Remove the quiche from the oven.
- Allow it to rest for 10–15 minutes.
- Slice into 6 portions.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and a little extra feta if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature!
Helpful Tips for the Perfect Crustless Quiche
- Remove excess moisture: Cook spinach thoroughly and drain any excess liquid to prevent a watery quiche.
- Drain sun-dried tomatoes: Excess oil can make the quiche greasy.
- Use room-temperature eggs: They mix more evenly with the dairy.
- Don’t overbake: Remove the quiche once the center is just set.
- Customize the cheese: Goat cheese or Parmesan can be used instead of mozzarella.
- Add more vegetables: Mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, or artichokes make delicious additions.
- Let it rest: Resting helps the quiche hold its shape when sliced.
Storage Instructions - Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
- Freezer: Wrap individual slices and freeze for up to 2 months for best quality.
- Reheating: Warm in the oven at 325°F (165°C) until heated through, or microwave individual slices.
- Meal Prep: Bake ahead, slice into portions, and refrigerate for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
