They are a complete meal with plenty of protein, fat, and veggies, so you will feel good about serving it up to your family. Don’t worry, all they’re going to notice is that they love it, so that whole ‘healthy’ thing can be our little secret. It is savory and cheesy and delicious, and so easy to make!
Ingredient Notes
- Olive Oil: You can substitute it with any neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil.
- Sweet Onion: A small sweet onion adds a mild, slightly sweet flavor. If you donโt have sweet onions, yellow or white onions will work.
- Mushrooms: Both white or cremini mushrooms work here.
- Garlic: Fresh garlic is best for flavor, but you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder if needed.
- Frozen Spinach: Be sure to fully thaw and drain the spinach to avoid extra moisture in the quiche. Press it with a paper towel to remove as much water as possible. Fresh spinach can be used as a substitute. For a detailed explanation, please read this article on substituting fresh spinach for frozen. You’ll need to remove stems, cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes, and then (just like frozen) remove as much liquid as possible from it.
- Feta Cheese: Feta gives the quiche a tangy bite, but you can swap it with goat cheese for a milder flavor using the same amount.
- Cheddar Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds the most flavor, but mild cheddar works too. For variety, try using Swiss, mozzarella, or even a blend of cheeses.
- Eggs: Thereโs no good substitute for eggs in this recipe. It’s a quiche after all!
- Milk: 1%, 2%, or whole milk all work here.
Adding a Crust
Is it still a quiche without a crust? Of course, it is! A quiche uses a higher ratio of milk to eggs, which gives it a softer, silkier texture compared to a frittata, making it perfect for pairing with a flaky crust. While this quiche is wonderfully creamy and custard-like without a crust, you can easily add one if you prefer. Simply use a frozen, pre-made crust or make your own from scratchโno par-baking needed! Just spoon the filling directly into the crust and bake.
Deep Dish Pie Plate
This recipe is designed for a standard deep-dish pie plate that has a depth of 2 to 2.5 inches. There are generally two different pie plates that are sold in stores. One is a standard deep dish, and another is a more shallow dish (1 to 1 1/4 inch deep). With a quiche, you want to make sure you have a good thick layer of filling so a standard deep-dish pie plate will work best.ย
Storage & Reheating Instructions
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
To freeze, cool the quiche completely, then wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a resealable freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw slices in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Reheat slices in the oven at 350ยฐF for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
Reheat slices in the microwave on high in 30-second increments until hot.

This recipe came out great and I had rave reviews! Only suggestion (besides correcting the East typo in the title) is to cut the olive oil…I just sprayed the pan with PAM.
Easy recipe full of flavor! Followed recipe exactly as directed and loved it! I made it first time for overnight guests and they said it was a โhome runโ. Between 4 of us it was gobbled up in one setting My husband requested I not lose the recipe so I know he enjoyed it. Definitely a favorite that Iโll be preparing again.
Delicious but I would leave the salt out. The cheese has plenty, in my opinion.
Simply the best!
I’ve seen this recipe posted before & I must have made it over 20 times. My family loves it. I real keeper!! I also added in bacon bits and substituted the spinach for broccoli or asparagus on occasion.
Loved this quiche, as did my friends. I offered them a small piece and they ended up having seconds and thirds. Will definitely make it again
