Easy Crustless Spinach Quiche

 

Should I use a deep-dish pie plate or a shallow pie plate?

This recipe is designed for a standard deep-dish pie plate that has a depth of 2 to 2.5 inches. There are generally two different pie plates that are sold in stores. One is a standard deep dish, and another is a more shallow dish (1 to 1 1/4 inch deep). With a quiche, you want to make sure you have a good thick layer of filling so a standard deep-dish pie plate will work best.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR Easy Crustless Spinach Quiche Recipe 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9-inch deep dish pie plate.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in onion and mushroom and saute until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add in garlic and cook 1 minute more. Turn off heat and stir in spinach, feta, and cheddar cheese. Spoon mixture into the prepared pie plate.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the spinach mixture in the prepared pie plate.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until eggs are set. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

NOTES:

Want to add a crust? Use frozen, pre-made, or make your own. Instead of spooning the pie filling into an empty pie plate, you’ll spoon it directly into the crust. No par-baking required!
