Crustless Spinach Quiche Great To Serve As A Vegetable

ECBG · ‎01-08-2011

This quiche saves the calories from the crust and makes it a wonder vegetable to serve for dinner or as the main dish in a dinner.

1 quiche makes six servings since it isn't thick. Reheats great!

@ECBG This sounds SO good! Thanks! It makes me think of a spinach souffle, which I haven't had in a long time! Wouldn't this be good in those little mini tart shells for a buffet side dish?

THANKS again!

@SoonerI think it would do fine. Keep in mind this isn't a high quiche, so you might have to add more to your shells. Our little grandsons love this as do the adults. You could also do in an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 and serve in squares. Enjoy!

Thanks for the recipe - my ex used to make a crustless quiche I just loved. I'll give this one a try!

@ECBGLooks Great! I just made one very similar to this over the weekend but added a cup of cream to the beaten eggs. Not so good for the calories but Really tasty! The munster cheese is mellow , nice and stringy when warm. Good stuff!

@candys mine,Did your's have a crust? Would you think your addition would have made it soft enough that it would have had to use a crust to hold it together? Thanks!

That sounds so good and easy, too. Thanks for sharing.

@ECBGHi, Nope, no crust. It's very fluffy and You're right it didn't hold together well while it was hot but it was fine once it cooled. The recipe called for a nine inch pie plate but I used a ten inch. maybe the bigger area cooked it more so it held together when done. Good Point! Still, it was yummy.

@candys mine,Since chesse is almost a liquid when hot, I'm not surprised.

If you love quiche, you'd probably like the Italian tomato and gruyere deep dish pie I do at Christmas.. It's extremely expensive as you can imagine and everyone is addicted to it. I get the cheese at Sams.
