How to make No Crust Spinach and Swiss Quiche
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 10 Ounces of fresh chopped spinach
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (about 4 ounces) freshly grated Swiss
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Place your pie plate on a cookie sheet and lightly coat with non stick cooking spray.
- Sauté the onion in the butter until the onion is soft and golden. Add the spinach and saute 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool while you prepare the custard.
- Beat eggs until well blended. Whisk in the milk, salt pepper, and nutmeg. Arrange half the cheese in the bottom of the prepared dish, add the sauteed vegetables, pour in the egg mixture to fill to the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake until just set and slightly puffed around the sides as in the photo, but still a tiny bit jiggly or soft in the two inch circle of the center when you gently shake the oven rack. Usually a pie will bake for about 25 minutes, but begin checking it at 20 minutes and cook until it is done.
- Let cool for 15 minutes, cut it into wedges and serve.
Note: We prefer to use fresh spinach in this recipe however if you only have frozen spinach make sure to thaw first and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. After it’s thawed and the liquid has been removed measure out 10 ounces of frozen spinach.
Add some meat! We kept this quiche recipe vegetarian for ease, however, you could easily add in some crispy bacon, diced ham, or a sliced sausage like chorizo to add a little extra protein and flavor.
Eat it hot or cold. If you’re in a hurry on a busy morning, you can eat the leftovers straight from the fridge! It’s still delicious, healthy, and filling too.
