Ingredients and Substitutes

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for this easy crustless spinach quiche recipe, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements, see recipe card below.

• olive oil – Use your favorite extra virgin olive oil or any neutral cooking oil. Avocado oil works too.
• onion – I used yellow onions, but white onions would work too.
• garlic – Fresh garlic tastes best, but you can use 2 teaspoons instead canned minced garlic or 1/2 tsp garlic powder For convenience.
• fresh spinach – I prefer the quiche with fresh spinach, but you can substitute frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, you will need to thaw it first, drain any excess water, and then proceed to step 2 in the recipe. The amount needed is 20 ounces of frozen spinach, which once thawed is nearly 2 cups in volume.
• Egg – Room temperature eggs work best when baked. Leave the eggs on the counter for about 30 minutes before using, or if you forget, submerge them in warm water for a few minutes to bring them to room temperature.
• heavy cream – You’ll get the creamiest texture, but you can also use whole milk, or plain almond milk Or dairy-free canned coconut milk.
• sea ​​salt and black pepper
• baking powder – Although optional, I recommend using baking powder for a fluffier quiche.
• cheese – I used a mix of Swiss and cheddar cheeses in this spinach quiche recipe. See below for more cheese ideas. (If you need a dairy-free option, you can substitute vegan cheese.)

Recipe Variations

• make a crust – For a delicious twist on this classic spinach quiche, try this recipe using your favorite savory pie crust.I like Almond Flour Pie Crust or Coconut Flour Pie Crust, but whatever you like will do. Baking it first ensures that it doesn’t get soggy. For the perfect amount of filling, reduce the amount of eggs by 1 and reduce the amount of cream to 1/4 cup.
• Spinach and Mushroom Quiche – If you want a heartier quiche, add 8 oz sliced ​​fresh mushrooms of your choice (try cremini, shiitake, button and/or oyster mushrooms). Cook them in the skillet after the onions and before adding the spinach.
