Print Recipe

A light and creamy crustless quiche featuring sautéed spinach and tangy feta cheese, perfect for a quick, healthy meal or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole or 2% milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs like dill or parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until translucent and soft.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring until wilted and cooked down, about 3–5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1 cup of milk until smooth and slightly frothy. Add a pinch of nutmeg if using, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Stir the cooled spinach mixture into the egg batter, then gently fold in 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs if using.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  9. Let the quiche cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Cook spinach thoroughly and drain excess moisture to avoid soggy quiche. Whisk eggs and milk until frothy for a light texture. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly. If filling is too runny before baking, stir gently to achieve creamy custard consistency.
