Key Ingredients:

I’ve included everything below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the Recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Large Eggs

Fresh eggs build the main custardy structure of our quiche. They provide high-quality protein while keeping the filling smooth.

Heavy Cream

Rich cream adds lush moisture and fat to the dish. Consequently, it prevents the baked eggs from drying out.

Fresh Spinach

Chopped spinach brings bright green color and mild flavor. Furthermore, it bakes right into the tender egg base seamlessly.

Feta Cheese

Crumbled feta offers a tangy, salty contrast to rich eggs. However, goat cheese or cotija works nicely as a swap.

Fresh Parsley

Chopped herbs elevate the fresh savory aroma significantly. Meanwhile, dried herbs work fine if fresh greens are unavailable.

Olive Oil

A tiny splash coats your baking dish evenly. Thus, it stops egg slices from sticking during baking.

Garlic Powder & Salt

Simple seasonings enhance natural flavors across all ingredients. Next, black pepper adds a tiny bit of warmth.

How to Make Crustless Spinach Quiche

I’ve included everything below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the Recipe card at the bottom of this post.

1. Preheat your standard oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard 9-inch pie dish using olive oil.
2. Whisk 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl for 2 minutes until fully combined and bubbly.
3. Fold 2 cups chopped fresh spinach, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley into the egg mixture using a flexible spatula.
4. Pour the wet quiche mixture into your greased pie dish, spreading ingredients evenly across the bottom.
5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes until edges turn golden brown and the center sets firmly.
6. Cool for 10 minutes at room temperature before slicing into 6 equal triangles with a sharp chef knife.

Pro Tip: Squeeze any excess moisture out of cooked or fresh greens using paper towels so your quiche filling never turns watery during baking.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Overbaking the eggs: Leaving the dish in the oven too long causes a rubbery texture.
• Using wet spinach: Excess water leads to a soggy bottom layer.
• Skipping grease on the pan: Un-greased dishes make removing clean slices very difficult.
• Slicing too early: Hot egg custard collapses if sliced immediately out of the oven.

Required Equipment:

• 9-inch pie dish — promotes even baking and easy slicing.
• Large mixing bowl — holds liquid ingredients without messy splatters.
• Whisk — incorporates air into eggs for maximum fluffiness.
• Rubber spatula — folds greens and cheese evenly throughout the batter.

Caleb’s Recipe Tips

• Squeeze greens dry to maintain a firm texture.
• Add sharp cheddar alongside feta for extra bold cheese flavor.
• Pre-whisk eggs thoroughly to infuse plenty of air into the batter.
• Use fresh herbs instead of dried options whenever possible.
• Let it rest for ten minutes before cutting clean slices.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover quiche slices inside an airtight container in your refrigerator. Properly stored slices stay fresh for up to 4 days. Moreover, you can freeze individual slices for up to 2 months. Simply wrap slices tightly in parchment paper and foil. Finally, reheat slices in a 350°F oven for 8 minutes or microwave them for 45 seconds until warm.
