Isn’t this GORGEOUS? Super healthy and low-carb (especially since I opted to make this a crustless quiche) with so much color and flavor!
Spinach is a hot favorite with The Husband, in pretty much all forms: fresh, frozen, or canned. I’ve heard tales of him as a kid opening cans of spinach and devouring them after school, Popeye style. Lol.
In my house, spinach is pretty much always on the grocery list, and I include it in as many things as I can. (I’ve been known to cook and puree spinach, and add a cup to our spaghetti sauce and giggle as my children chow down on it happily – if you tell them, I will deny it, and never bake you cookies. Ever!)

These are all you need to make my crustless quiche! (you’re so welcome)
Eating at home means lots of family time around the dinner table, and teaching the kids how to prepare meals. H can wash spinach, drain and rinse canned beans, crack eggs into bowls, mix ingredients, and… licking the beaters whenever I bake.
He’s not so excellent at dish-washing, or table clearing. But we’re working on it! I’ve found that the more involved I allow the kids to be, the more willing they are to try different things, and eat whatever we make because they’re so proud to have “made it”.

Recipe Notes
This crustless quiche tastes great hot, room temp, OR chilled! You'll notice there is no salt and pepper in this - the feta is plenty salty enough, so there's no need to add it. You may enjoy some pepper in yours though!

This looks soooo good!! My daughter definitely eats more when I let her help me prepare the food! #client
Kate says
I was eating my fritata the other morning and thinking about how well spinach works with eggs.
Marisa Franca @ All Our Way says
I saw this on Instagram and I immediately thought of breakfast and lunch. That is, eat it for breakfast and have the leftovers for lunch. It looks and sounds delicious. Fresh spinach is a constant in our house as well as arugula. The quiche looks beautiful. I’ve already pinned it.
Tara@SimpleFood365 says
I love the combination of spinach and tomato with egg. Adding the feta is just a bonus as far as I’m concerned. This looks awesome!
Igor @ Cooking The Globe says
This quiche looks perfect. Feta, tomatoes, and spinach is everything you need!
Mary says
What a great combination of flavors! We’re big fans of spinach too!
Aish says
I always involve my kids in cooking too. Its fun.
Kylee says
It is, right? Educational, too!
Krysten (@momnoms) says
The color of your quiche is amazing.
I feel like my son wants to eat more of something if it’s bright and colorful, he’s going to go gaga over this!
He isn’t quite big enough to really help me in the kitchen yet, but I know he will as soon as he grows a couple more inches! 😛
Sara says
Oh my goodness, this looks incredible! I love crustless quiche and that I can get everything I need for this recipe at Sam’s!!
spiceinthecity says
That looks like one delicious quiche! Love that it is crustless too!
Noor says
This is so pretty! Love the step by step photos!
Regina says
This is a great tip about letting kids help prepare so they try more. My 2yo used to eat everything we ate, but it seems she is getting more and more picky. Some days it seems she lives on crackers and air. Gotta find some ways to let her help. Btw…the quiche looks fantastic!
Bintu | Recipes From A Pantry says
Oh my goodness, crustless quiches full of spinach and tomatoes. A summer dream.
Brittany says
This looks so good! I have all the veggies in my garden and fresh eggs from my chicks! Can’t wait to try this!! Thanks!
Mardene Carr says
I love quiche! I am printing this to try it. LOL…It might not look like this but I am certainly going to try it

suchi says
I always make crust less quiche… its my fav quick one dish meal….but never tried it with Feta…love the recipe!
Pam Murray says
That looks fabulous. Do you have a calorie count on that?
Kylee says
Hi Pam,
No, I don’t typically do calorie counts or nutritional information for my posts. Myfitnesspal has a free calculator though, I believe.
Jan Forbes says
Just made this in a half quantity for hubby and I for lunch. Didn’t look as pretty as the original, but my, the flavour was wonderful. I was lucky to get any, it was a real hit with hubby. Thanks for the inspiration. Love it. xx
Lauren says
Do you think/know if this would work with cornflour? My Aunt has coeliac disease and I wanted to make this for her!
Kylee says
You know, I bet it could. I do know there are gluten free flour blends that would work very well, too!
Cheryl says
I’m going to try this with almond flour and see if that works since I have a wheat sensitivity. Looks delicious!
Kylee says
Hi Cheryl – I hope you love it! It’s such a small amount of flour, that switching it out for almond won’t make a lot of difference at all. If you don’t have almond – cornstarch would also work!
When you make it – do stop back and let me know how it goes? I’ll update the post to include your changes for the Gluten Free people!
Cheryl says
Update – I made this gluten free using almond flour and it worked out great and it was delicious!
Jill K Boll says
Have made this several times now. Always delicious and quite a pretty dish! Have plans to continue using your crustless recipe and modifying with some different ingredients just to change it up.
Kylee says
Hey, Jill! That totally made my day to hear that.
What other ingredients have you used? I like caramelized onion and feta, ham and cheddar, and asparagus and Swiss cheese.
I’d love to know what you come up with!
Sue says
Could you freeze this?
Kylee says
I haven’t tried – I’m not convinced it would be great without a crust to hold it together. Possibly it might get rubbery!?
Sarah says
Is there a way to make this without the flour?
Kylee says
Hi Sarah – are you gluten intolerant? The flour really helps the egg to set properly, and make it easy to cut and hold its shape.
You could switch it out for cornstarch if you like, or a small amount of almond or coconut flour? I haven’t tried it that way – but I’m sure it would work fine.
If you try it – let me know?
Emma says
Hi! Oh my so gorgeous! Do you think i can make the recipe the night before and put in the oven the next morning? Thanks!
Kylee says
Hi Emma – I don’t see why it wouldn’t work if you did it that way. Since there is no crust, there’s no way for anything to get soggy!
I do bake this ahead and serve up to 2-3 days later, though – if that helps!
Sarah says
Made this for dinner – hubby had two helpings.
Asked for leftovers for his lunch the next day – which means it’s a winner. Great budget friendly meal. Will def be making again,. Thanks Kylee
Sydney says
Made this today and added garlic, bacon, and goat cheese! soooooo good!!
