Crustless Spinach Quiche
December is finally here and for many of us that means 2 things:
- CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!!!
- Life is about to get crazy.
Between the baking, shopping, eating, wrapping, and decorating things can get a little chaotic. My saving grace? Super easy foolproof meals. Preferably ones that make great leftovers. Currently my go-to recipe is this Crustless Spinach Tomato Quiche. It’s a breeze to whip up! And it’s loaded with so many yummy ingredients. The leftovers are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
What more could you want in a recipe?!
I was lucky enough to get the gorgeous red onions I used in this recipe from an actual onion farm!
Last month I spent an afternoon exploring Minkus Family Farms. I learned all about onion farming, as well as the Empire State Development’s New York State Grown & Certified program. Farms that hold this certification are inspected for safe food handling and environmental stewardship. Their products must also meet the highest quality standards. Additionally, the farms and farmers must be certified for Good Agricultural Practices and participate in Agriculture Environmental Management. By certifying food at this level, New York provides its consumers with an assurance of quality in how and where the food is grown. It helps promote New York State producers who are meeting a high demand for food that is safely grown in an environmentally responsible manner. It’s important to know where and how our food is grown, so I’m proud to help promote this program!
Keep an eye out for the NYS G&C labels at stores and green markets starting spring 2017.
Sausage Spinach Quiche
Tips and Tricks for Recipe Success:
- If you’re a vegetarian, you can omit the sausage or use a vegetarian version!
- Want to add some more veggies? I find mushrooms make a lovely addition!
- I call for mozzarella cheese in this recipe, but you may sub in your favorite cheese. I’ve used pepper jack, sharp cheddar, and provolone with great results!
- And finally, this quiche is delicious hot, warm, or even cold. It’s so versatile!
I love serving this Crustless Quiche with extra crispy garlic & herb potatoes for breakfast or a small salad at lunch. What will you serve it with?

Crustless Quiche with Spinach, Sausage, and Sundried Tomatoes
Ingredients
- (1) 8 ounce package ground sausage
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 medium red onions, diced
- (1) 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Lightly grease a 9" pie plate or quiche pan; set aside. In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, brown sausage until no longer pink. Using a slotted spoon transfer the sausage to a bowl and set aside. In the same skillet add the olive oil (keep the sausage grease in there - it adds flavor!) and onions and saute until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add in the spinach and cook until all of the excess moisture is evaporated, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and set aside. In a large bowl vigorously beat the eggs for 1 to 2 minutes. Add in the cheese and beat well to combine. Stir in the spinach mixture, sausage, salt, pepper, and sundried tomatoes, mix well to combine. Spread evenly into prepared pie plate or quiche dish. Bake for 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Slice and serve at once!

Loved your recipe! This was so easy to throw together and forgiving, I didn’t have Mozzarella used white cheddar. Great because I didn’t have to mess with a crust which in my mind, makes it better for you! Also I’ve never made a Quiche that doesn’t have the 1/2 & 1/2 and heavy cream, this is a keeper! Cook time was perfect also.
Sorry no pic, I was so hungry and it smelled so good I just dug in. Next time I’m gonna add slices of avocado on top for presentation, it will be beautiful!!!
Thank you
This is my family’s favorite brunch on Sundays!
2 Thumbs up. I made this last night. Sorry, my wife had a ready made pie crust she wanted to use up so I used that instead otherwise, delicious. I cooked the bacon on a griddle and then cooked the onions in the leftover bacon fat for added flavor.
