Spinach, Goat Cheese & Sun-Dried Tomato (Crustless) Quiche
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 -3 garlic cloves garlic minced (I use 2 if large cloves, 3 if tiny)
- 1/2 cup yellow onion chopped
- 3 packed cups fresh spinach
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil drained and chopped
- 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled or chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly oil a 9-10 inch baking dish with olive oil using a paper towel.
Prepare quiche filling
- In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute for 5 minutes or until tender and translucent. Add garlic, saute for about 30 seconds or until just fragrant.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 3- 5 minutes. Remove mixture from heat and set aside. *
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and milk until combined. Stir in sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese, rosemary and onion/ spinach mix. * Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- * I like to keep aside a few pieces of spinach, goat cheese and tomatoes for decorating the top of the quiche.
Assemble & Bake
- Pour egg mixture into prepared baking dish.
- If you have set aside a few pieces of spinach, goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, place them on top of the mixture to "decorate" the quiche.
- Bake at 350°F for approximately 40-45 minutes** or until quiche is golden brown and center set (no longer jiggly and toothpick comes cleanly out of center).
- **Check quiche at 30 minutes. If the top looks like it's browning too much for your taste, cover gently with foil for last part of baking.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
- Leftovers heat up well.
Can almond milk be substituted for the whole milk?
I’ve never tried that but it should be ok.. lmk if you try
Is there any other cheese besides goat cheese that would work with this recipe?
I’ve never made it with another cheese but I think feta would be delicious! Would that work for you?
Thank you for being part of my Christmas Eve meal. Made it crustless. Only change was I used frozen spinach – about 3/4 cup because it was what I had on hand. Other than that I followed your recipe to the letter. My son always asks for quiche for the most important meal of the year, and I’m gluten free so this was perfect. You were a very welcome guest at my table – thank you.
Aw, this just made my day! So happy it worked out so well for you and your family! Happy Holidays!
This is the first time I’ve tried your quiche. I have substituted with goats milk as I cannot have cows milk of any sort, found a goats Gouda cheese, used half of garlic needed and used the spring onion green tops as I’m also fructose intolerant as well as a coeliac. Fingers crossed it will come out as nice as yours.
I added a sprinkle of parmesan in the last life minutes of cooking and it was great!
Great add! Happy you enjoyed it!
I was wondering whether goat chèvre could be used in this recipe.
Yes! That’s perfect!
This is amazing! I make quiche all the time for easy reheats throughout the week, and this is my absolute favorite! The second time I made it I actually used some of the oil from the sun dried tomato jar to sauté the onions!
Thank you for sharing this recipe!!
Happy you love it so much! Thanks for sharing! And yes– sauteing in sun-dried tomato oil is amazing! Great idea!
Karen – this was fabulous! My husband & I really enjoyed this for breakfast this morning. And super easy to make! ?
I tried this recipe tonight, but I substituted asparagus that I sautéed with the onion and garlic. The quiche was very good, but the asparagus was watery and tough. The spinach is probably a much better idea! I also used 1/2 tsp. ground rosemary instead of fresh and almond milk instead of regular milk. Both worked well.
Can I double this and bake in a 9 x 13 pan? IF so, what adjustments do I need to make if any?
Thanks!
Great question! I have never doubled this recipe but it should work fine. Just be sure to check the center with a tooth pick and make sure it is cooked before removing from oven. And if the center is not done but the top is, cover loosely with foil.
