Crustless Quiche

This Crustless Quiche recipe with spinach, goat cheese, and turkey sausage is delicious! Perfect for a low-carb breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

This savory crustless quiche is packed with protein, nutrients, and lots of flavor! Plus, no crust means it is also low-carb, keto-friendly, and gluten-free. It’s so easy to make and can easily be adapted to your personal preferences.

Personally, I love a good quiche. But do you really need the crust? I think not. This crustless quiche with spinach, cheese, and turkey sausage is great without the crust. This quiche also reheats really well. Just pop it into the microwave for a minute or two, and you have a quick and easy breakfast, lunch, or brunch. For a nice dinner, add a healthy salad, like this French Bistro Salad or this delicious Pear Salad. It is also wonderful served with a side of Haricots Verts Amandine. Don’t mind carbs? Try serving this quiche with these Easy Cheddar Biscuits or some French Garlic Toast. For a nice, fancy brunch, enjoy it with a Strawberry White Wine Spritz, a Cranberry Mimosa, or an Aperol Spritz… Yum!

This easy quiche recipe is not just low-carb and gluten-free. I would say, compared to most quiches, it is also lower in fat. I did not use any butter and only one tablespoon of oil. Using turkey sausage instead of regular sausage cuts out a lot of fat. If you do not have turkey sausage, ground turkey would work as well. You can also use different types of cheese in this quiche. Other wonderful variations could include Gouda, Gruyere, Swiss, or Cheddar. 

I hope you enjoy the crustless quiche!

Crustless Quiche Ingredients

These crustless quiche ingredients can be adapted to your personal preferences, and can also be made into a vegetarian quiche with an easy ingredient swap.

• Eggs – I use organic cage-free eggs
• Fresh Baby Spinach – I use fresh organic baby spinach.
• Olive Oil
• Garlic – I use organic minced garlic.
• Turkey sausage, ground turkey, or crumbled extra-firm tofu for a vegetarian quiche.
• Cheese – I used goat cheese, but Gouda, Gruyère, Swiss, and cheddar are wonderful substitutes. 
• Parmesan cheese – shredded
• Paprika
• Cayenne pepper
• Sage – Add extra if you like sage or substitute another savory herb.
• Salt & Pepper –  You can omit the salt to lower the sodium content and sprinkle salt to each person’s liking once the quiche is served. Depending on the type of cheese you use, you may not need salt.

How to Make a Crustless Quiche with Spinach 

This is how to make a crustless quiche…

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, heat olive oil and add the minced garlic. Then, add the turkey sausage to the pan. Then add the sage, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and pepper to the turkey sausage. Break up the turkey sausage with a large spoon and brown over medium heat until cooked through and no longer pink.

Once the turkey sausage is cooked through, add the spinach to the pan and stir to combine with the sausage. The spinach may need to be added in batches depending on the size of your pan. Sauté the spinach with the sausage until the spinach is wilted. Once finished, turn off the burner and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Then, add the cheese to the eggs and mix. If you have a “log” of goat cheese, use a fork to crumble it into the bowl. With a slotted spoon, add the cooked turkey sausage and spinach to the mixing bowl and stir to combine all the ingredients. 

Grease a 9″ pie pan. Then, pour the mixture into the pie pan. Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 – 35 minutes or until eggs are set. Carefully remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
