Tips
To make sure your quiche is flavorful and not soggy, be sure to start with defrosted frozen spinach. Place the spinach in a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel to wring out any excess moisture.
Allow the crustless spinach quiche to sit for a few minutes before slicing with a sharp knife.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! And you might find you enjoy it more than frozen, though you might miss the convenience.
Trial and Eater has a wonderful tutorial on how to substitute fresh spinach for frozen - and I love that she walks you through her own previous mistakes, so you know she knows what she's talking about!
I love using tangy feta in this low carb sweet potato pie recipe. However, you can use pretty much any cheese that melts well. Creamy goat cheese, shredded cheddar, or edam are all great choices.
If you are on a whole 30 or paleo diet, omit the cheese.
Recipe Variations
While I haven't tried any of these variations, you might like to experiment with these ideas:
- For a salmon quiche, add a 5oz can of salmon and one additional egg to the filling mixture.
- For spinach and ham quiche, add 1 cup chopped ham, with an additional egg.
- After the crustless quiche comes out of the oven, sprinkle the top with cooked bacon pieces or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
- You can add other kinds of veggies to this easy spinach quiche, too. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms with the spinach, or try a cup or two of diced bell peppers
