A quick and easy crustless spinach quiche that is creamy, keto-friendly, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light meal. This recipe uses simple ingredients and delivers a smooth, savory custard with fresh spinach and cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped (or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (about 115 grams)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Gruyère or sharp cheddar, about 100 grams)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the spinach and cook until wilted and most moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat 6 large eggs until combined.
  6. Add 1 cup heavy cream and 4 ounces softened cream cheese. Whisk vigorously until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  7. Fold the sautéed spinach and onions into the custard mixture.
  8. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  9. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  10. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until edges are golden and the center is just set with a slight jiggle.
  11. Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing to help it firm up.

Notes

Sautéing the spinach and onions to remove moisture is key to avoid a soggy quiche. Use room temperature eggs for a smooth custard. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly. Let the quiche rest before slicing for best texture. For dairy-free options, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk and cream cheese with dairy-free alternatives.
