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.

Love this quiche. I want to double it for Easter. Could you tell me what size baking dish and for how long should I bake it?
My hubby was SO impressed by the quiche I made. I canโt wait to try it. Thanks for the recipe.
It was lovely
I tweaked it quite a bit
This recipe was straightforward but full of flavor. It took me 10 minutes to pull this together, from chopping, sautรฉing, and putting it into the oven. I tailored the recipe more to my tastes and what I had on hand, and it was fabulous: 6oz chopped kale, 8 oz. sliced baby bellas, 5 garlic cloves, 1.5 oz. cheddar, and 4 oz. gruyere. I used a glass pie dish and needed 40 minutes for a firm, but moist dish. Thank you for the inspiration! This crustless quiche is in my weekly rotation now.
This crustless quiche is delicious. I loved it and it was so easy to make.
Ritz crackers had a crustless apple pie in the late 50ies I made every weekend. Thank you Rachel.
I’m not big on Feta, could I use Blue Cheese?
Maureen, I used cheddar, shredded low fat Mexican (from Trader Joe’s), Swiss and mozzarella, basically whatever cheeses I like and what I have in the house. It was delicious. I tried it out on friends, and they loved it.
Did this recipe several times and I love it. Some times changed cheeses but it tasted good anyway!!! Thanks for the recipe
Best Quiche I ever made!! I did add artichoke hearts also. Great
This was a fabulous quiche. The combination of cheddar and feta was perfect. Of course I tweeked the recipe. I thought it needed 6 eggs and 5 oz. milk. I added Pensey’s Mural of Flavor (1/4 tsp), a dash of cayenne, more salt and pepper and some artichoke hearts. I cooked it in a 2 qt. glass baking dish and it set beautifully in 45 min. My spouse loved it as much as I and my guests did.
Iโve used blue cheese in this recipe and it was great!!!
Absolutely delicious!
Amazing
Breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Thank you.
