This easy-to-make Crustless Spinach and Feta Quiche is your lighter, low-carb homemade quiche solution! It's packed full of fresh spinach and feta cheese, making it a healthy, hearty, easy to make, any time of the day meal!

baked crustless quiche with spinach and feta.

Oh, hey!  It's been a while! It's for a good reason - lots of new and exciting recipes coming at ya! Including one of our latest, this crustless quiche. Last week I made it twice.  Twice!  That's how good it is and that's why it's made it into our regular rotation. Friends, meet our Crustless Spinach and Feta Quiche!

Video

Ingredients Needed:

sautéed spinach, whisked eggs, feta cheese, and pie dish with parmesan cheese.

We love this quiche because it is so simple and easy to make. Nothing complicated, nothing super fancy. Just whole foods, and whole flavor.

  • Spinach, Onions, and Garlic - Sautéed until soft. You could also use kale, shallots, add mushrooms or other veggies!
  • Feta Cheese - I just love the flavor feta cheese adds. Plus, when we make our own Feta Cheese From Scratch, this is one of our favorite ways to use it!
  • Eggs and Milk - Whisked together! We use 2% milk because that's what we drink in the house, but you could also use 1% or Whole, even.
  • Butter and Parmesan Cheese - Instead of a crust, we just give a pie dish a nice butter coating and then add a little layer of cheese.
  • Salt and Pepper - To taste, although we find with the saltiness of the feta cheese, you don't need to add much more!

Step-by-Step Instructions

greased pie dish and shredded parmesan cheese.

 Step 1: Because it doesn't have our normal butter laden (and delicious) pie crust (like we use for our Ricotta Tomato Pie From Scratch), I greased the pie dish with some butter and Parmesan cheese. Just enough for a light layer for all the quiche-y goodness to rest on.

Tip: You can also use a 9 inch aluminum pie pan if you plan to freeze. Here's what we keep on hand to use!

a large bowl with eggs and milk being poured in.

Step 2: Whisk the eggs and the milk together.

Step 3: Sauté the minced garlic and onion and added the spinach until it was wilted.  With that, the parm / butter base, eggs and milk, and feta, I was ready for a super simple yet delicious quiche.

a large container of feta cheese.

I had also just finished making some homemade feta cheese, which is truly my most favorite cheese to make. Not only is it delicious, but it lasts up to 4 weeks!  This quiche was totally inspired by this feta.  Ok that and because my husband has requested more spinach in our daily diets.  Spinch+feta?  Win.

Step 5: Add the feta to the spinach, onion and garlic and then mix with the eggs and pour it all into the pie dish.

Note: We use a standard 9 inch pie dish like this one.

Step 6: Bake! 50 minutes later, we had a perfectly cooked quiche.

Packed with spinach!  Popeye would have totally approved.  My studly husband did!  It made a great protein, vitamin K, etc. rich dinner for him and a healthier brunch option for the gals!

Customizable!

Although we love this recipe exactly as it is, we also use it as a base to make a huge variety of other quiches! Here are some of our favorite additions:

  • Mushrooms
  • Bacon
  • Cheddar cheese
  • Gruyere
  • Zucchini
  • Sausage
  • Diced ham
  • Peas

Make it your own! But be sure to share with me what you've added - I love hearing your substitutions / additions!

FAQs

Can I make this with a crust?

Definitely! You can make it like our Spinach, Ham, and Cheddar Quiche. You'll just want to reduce the ingredients to fit in the dish with the crust. Reduce to 4 eggs.

Can I substitute other veggies or cheese?

Definitely. It's totally customizable! Just give whatever veggies your add a quick sauté to soften.

Can you freeze it?

Yup! Cook and let it cool completely first and either freeze whole or freeze in slices.

Can I use frozen spinach?

Yes! Just make sure that it's thawed and drained from as much liquid as possible first before sautéing.

Can I use other milks or milk substitutes?

We prefer to use 2% milk for this but you can use skim - whole, just keep in mind it will affect the richness of the dish. You can also use a soy milk sub, although the flavor wont be as rich. We don't recommend using an almond, or coconut milk because it will affect the flavor.

Enjoy! As always, if you make this recipe or any of my others, I love to hear what you think! Leave a comment below, email me, or you can find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest!

Notes

Be sure to grease your pie dish well so that the quiche doesn't stick. 
Prep in Advance
You can make this ahead the day before. Prepare everything and assemble it in your pie dish.  Cover and store in the fridge.
Substitutions
Spinach
1 bunch of spinach = 10 oz, including stems and about 6.75 oz stems removed.  4 (packed) cups of just the leaves.
Frozen:  10 oz frozen = 1 bunch
Other Veggies:  Use any others you'd like!
Cheese:  You can substitute your favorite, but we prefer the combination of spinach and feta.
Kosher Salt:  Use 1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon of table salt for the 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. 
Storage
Fridge:  Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.  
Freezing:  Bake and then let completely cool before freezing. Freeze either whole (use an aluminum freezer-friendly pie dish) or in slices.

    Just made and tasted this. Love the crust that the Parmesan and butter make, but the actual quiche itself is so over seasoned. It’s just so salty it’s hard to eat. I added the exact quantities that were listed, so I’m not sure what went wrong.

      Hi Rebecca, so sorry to hear this! Did you use table salt in place of kosher salt? That can up the salt level because it's not a 1:1 ratio, I just updated the recipe card to note that. Or maybe the feta you used is a little extra salty? No matter what, I'm sorry that this didn't work out for you.

    This was delicious! I did add ham, so I should have reduced the salt a bit, but the flavor was wonderful. Thank you so much for this simple but highly satisfying recipe.

      I made this at the lake for breakfast. It was fantastic. The flavor is great and uses so few ingredients to get such great flavor. I am glad I made it. Being at the lake, I like to make easy dishes, few ingredients, yet bursting with flavor.

      I make this all the time only use spinach, eggs, feta cheese, half and half for the milk, some everything bagel seasoning..and add extra parm cheese in bottom of buttered pie plate...bake for 40 minutes in my stove. Sometimes I add slices of thin pepperoni on top before I bake it. This recipe is wonderful. I have even used broccoli slightly steamed instead of spinach, and also used asparagus slightly steamed instead of the spinach...it’s all good.

    Just made this and am happy with results. True to recipe although I did chop the spinach before cooking and it finished cooking 5 minutes before posted time. The butter and parm made its own very thin crust. Will definitely make again. Need those greens and it can be for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

        How much spinach in weight? Shops sell bunches of spinach in different weights. Also, if i used frozen spinach, again what weight?
        Thanks,

          Hi Leslie! We get about 10 oz or 4 cups of packed spinach per bunch (which includes the stems). That's about 10 oz of frozen. So for this recipe you can use 2 10 oz bags of frozen spinach. Enjoy! Would love to hear what you think of the recipe!

And I need a reason to stop eating feta all by itself, lol... because I've been doing a lot of that lately. I'm getting the stuff to make this STAT!!!! Nice work- can't wait to see what fun site updates you have in store 😉
