Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 12 ounces fresh baby spinach
  • 1 cup Gruyere (or other shredded cheese - see notes)
  • ¼ cup whole milk (heavy cream for a richer quiche)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (2-3 cloves minced)
  • 1 tablespoon thyme (plus any extra freshly chopped herbs like chives- see notes)
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (add more to taste)
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground pepper (add more to taste)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9-inch pie pan.
  • In a large sauté pan, over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the garlic, saute for 1 minute, then add the spinach to the pan. The spinach may need to be added in batches depending on the size of your pan. Sauté the spinach with a sprinkle of salt and pepper until it is wilted. Drain the spinach well, removing as much liquid as possible, then transfer to the prepared pan with any additional add-ins, and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the vegetables.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and seasonings. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, and gently shake to combine, then sprinkle with herbs.
  • Place onto the center rack of your preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 - 40 minutes or until the eggs are set.
  • Carefully remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • This crustless quiche reheats well in the microwave, so it's great for weekly meal prep.
  • You can add extra ingredients like mushrooms for variety.
