Isn’t this GORGEOUS? Super healthy and low-carb (especially since I opted to make this a crustless quiche recipe) 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.
Love low carb? You’ll enjoy this low carb chicken dinner – all made in one skillet, or this Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner – so good (and low on clean up too!)
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!)
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”.
So. How about this spinach quiche then? It’s super easy and takes just 25 minutes in the oven til it’s ready to serve (about 45 minutes total).
Anywayyyyy… look at these simple and yummy ingredients. These are all you need to make my crustless quiche! (you’re so welcome)
Why this recipe works:
- Simple. Quality ingredients make amazing food.
- Make-Ahead. Make this on a weekend, and eat slices for lunch each day.
- Low Carb (if you’re into that)
Equipment needed
I use a metal tart tin with a removable base, to allow me to remove it from the pie pan more easily, but I have also had good luck with regular glass or ceramic pie pans. Just be sure to grease it well so you don’t get your quiche stuck!
You’ll need a good whisk, a skillet and mixing bowl. That’s it!
Kylee’s 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!
- You can make smaller versions of this in muffin tins. Be sure to grease the tins well, to make removal easy.
Ingredients
The full list of ingredients and quantities is found in the printable recipe card below.
- ONION – a medium sized onion will get you about 1/2 cup
- SPINACH – baby spinach leaves. You can add spinach leaves whole, or chop them up a little.
- EGGS
- FLOUR
- BAKING POWDER
- MILK – you can switch this out for heavy cream, or half and half if you are keto!
- FETA – adds a delicious saltiness to the dish
- TOMATOES – grape or cherry tomatoes, or chopped roma tomates all work well
- BASIL – optional, but pairs very well with the tomatoes!

Nan says
Can frozen spinach (thawed and we’ll drained) be used instead of fresh?
Kylee says
Yes, that would probably work!
Tami says
Can you make this gluten free?
Kylee says
You could use cornstarch to thicken, or leave it out.
Lisa says
Awesome recipe!! Thank you!! I added a dash of cayenne to the eggs because I love spice!
I also sautéed mushrooms and garlic with the onions, to add some more nutrients and yumminess:)
Linda Gregory Jones says
Is it possible to cut on the amount of flour in this Recipe?
Kylee says
You can leave it out altogether if you prefer. I add it and feel that it helps the quiche to hold together better.
Suzanne Cape says
This is sooo EZ, & yummy 😋. It’s my “go to” dish when I want something delicious & quick. It looks impressive, & company will always be wanting more. When served, it appears so delicious & colorful, that everyone will think that you’ve been in the kitchen for hours….👍!! I always add a bit of onion 🧅 & garlic 🧄 powder (or fresh) to taste; maybe 1/2 tsp. of each? It’s so easy to variate this recipe. I’ve made it with way more Cherry 🍒 Tomato’s, omitting the spinach, & using red, orange & yellow bell peppers. Shake it up & have fun with this recipe….I love 💕 it!!!!
Suzanne Cape says
This is my favorite, & in our home !!!! Kylee, you ROCK !!

Made this morning and used buttermilk instead of regular milk, and did it in muffin tins. Very awesome. Little salsa on top cause I’m in California so… Thank you!
Abby says
Can you prep this ahead of time (as in, mix all the ingredients the night before, then pour into quiche pan the next morning)? Thanks so much – looking forward to having this on Easter morning!
Kylee says
Absolutely you could!
EA The Spicy RD says
Yum! My family loves quiche. This would be perfect for dinner with a side salad. Even better with the feta cheese!
Debbie says
I made this for brunch today..AMAZING flavor. I added the optional fresh basil and it sent really well with the fresh tomatoes and feta . This was so good and I will be making it again!!
Sarah L says
Making this yet again for dinner. It is a true winner and always in regular rotation. Added some roast veg too and worked really good.
Anne Clark says
Beautiful recipe! Your husband loves spinach? Mine too! This is a great looking dish that I need to make for breakfast. I think he would eat it up!
Leona says
I was a bit hesitant after a couple Readers said their crust was hard. But can I say it was wonderful.!!! Flavorful and everyone enjoyed it. I added some mushrooms and a few snippets of ham. Otherwise I made it exactly as the recipe and it was a hit. I will surely make it again
