🥚🧀 Classic Spinach, Feta & Mushroom Crustless Quiche

There’s something so comforting about a warm slice of homemade quiche fresh from the oven. This Classic Spinach, Feta & Mushroom Crustless Quiche has become one of my favorite recipes for lazy weekend breakfasts and simple weeknight dinners. I first made it after a close friend shared her family’s crustless quiche recipe, promising it was just as satisfying as the traditional version but much lighter. She was right—it quickly became a staple in my kitchen.

Last weekend, I baked this quiche for a relaxed family brunch, serving it with fresh fruit and a crisp green salad. As it baked, the aroma of sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and herbs filled the house, and everyone wandered into the kitchen asking when it would be ready. The creamy eggs, earthy mushrooms, fresh spinach, and tangy feta created the perfect combination of flavors. By the end of brunch, there wasn’t a single slice left, and everyone requested it again for next weekend.

2 cloves garlic, minced

🍳 Equipment Needed

9-inch pie dish or quiche dish
Large skillet
Mixing bowl
Whisk
Measuring cups
Silicone spatula

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes until softened.

Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5–6 minutes until browned and most of their moisture has evaporated.

Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

Add the spinach and cook just until wilted.

Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

Eggs
Milk
Heavy cream (if using)
Oregano
Thyme
Salt
Black pepper
Nutmeg (if using)

Whisk until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble the Quiche

Spread the mushroom and spinach mixture evenly into the prepared pie dish.

Sprinkle over:

Feta cheese
Mozzarella
Parmesan

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.

Gently stir with a fork to distribute the ingredients.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until:

The center is set
The top is lightly golden
A knife inserted into the center comes out clean

Step 6: Rest & Serve

Allow the quiche to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

💡 Tips for Success

Cook the Mushrooms Well

Removing excess moisture prevents a watery quiche.

Don’t Overbake

The center should still have a slight jiggle when removed from the oven. It will continue setting as it rests.

Let It Rest

Resting for 10 minutes makes slicing much easier and improves the texture.

Use Freshly Grated Cheese

Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded varieties.
