- ⅛ tsp salt: A little seasoning to elevate all the other flavors.
- 1 tbsp cooking oil: Any neutral-flavored oil works; you can opt for olive oil for a richer taste.
- 2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled: Provides a tangy creaminess that beautifully contrasts with the other ingredients. Goat cheese can be a delightful substitute.
- 4 large eggs: The binding agent that holds everything together and gives the quiche its beautiful structure.
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese: Adds depth with its savory flavor; consider Pecorino Romano for a sharper kick.
- ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper: Elevates the flavor profile and adds a slight kick.

How to Make Crustless Quiche
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350ºF, ensuring the perfect environment for baking.
- Prepare the Spinach: Thaw the frozen chopped spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for preventing a soggy quiche.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, salt, and ½ Tbsp cooking oil. Sauté over medium heat until the mushrooms release their moisture and evaporate, leaving you with flavorful sautéed mushrooms.
- Prepare the Pie Plate: Brush the remaining ½ Tbsp oil inside a 9-inch pie plate to create a non-stick surface. Layer the sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and crumbled feta cheese in the pie plate.
- Mix the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs, ¼ cup grated Parmesan, freshly cracked black pepper, and 1 cup of milk until well combined.
- Combine and Layer: Pour the egg mixture over the layered spinach, mushrooms, and feta in the pie plate. Top with ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring an even distribution.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160ºF. Enjoy the mouth-watering aroma filling your kitchen as it bakes.
Storing & Reheating
This crustless quiche can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 hours or in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in an airtight container. To freeze, wrap it tightly and store it for up to 3 months.

Chef’s Helpful Tips
- Avoid excess moisture: Make sure to thoroughly squeeze the spinach and sauté the mushrooms until they’re dry to prevent a soggy quiche.
- Use room temperature eggs: They mix better and create a fluffier texture.
- Timing is key: Start checking for doneness around the 45-minute mark. The quiche should be set in the center and golden on top.
- Experiment with flavors: Try adding sun-dried tomatoes or different herbs for unique spins.
- Make-ahead magic: This quiche is great made ahead and tastes even better the next day!
