Crustless Spinach Quiche
I love how easy this crustless spinach quiche is, and believe me; I don't miss the crust; this dish is way better without the crust.
I prefer using fresh spinach because it adds so much flavour to the quiche, moreover it is much more nutritious and has a better texture.
On the other hand, frozen spinach is convenient for some people. However, to use frozen spinach, you need to get rid of all the excess water it holds, otherwise, the quiche will turn out soggy.
The recipe is also flavourful; the combination of fresh spinach, garlic, and onion is absolutely amazing, and adding cheddar and mozzarella cheese elevates this dish's taste to the next level.
This dish is SO easy to make; just combine everything and let the oven do the rest and it takes only 20 minutes in the oven.

How To Make Crustless Spinach Quiche
One: Preheat the oven to 180C / 356F.
Two: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the minced onion, garlic, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes, and stir from time to time until the onion softens ( You can go further and caramelise the onion if you like).
Three: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches (if you use a small skillet), then stir until the spinach becomes wilted.
Pro Tip: I highly recommend sauteing onion, garlic and fresh spinach before adding them to the quiche to prevent it from getting soggy.
Four: Next, Spread the spinach mixture in an ovenproof 14x24 cm baking dish, set aside.
Five: In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs, add the heavy cream and whisk together until combined.
Six: Add mozzarella and cheddar cheese to the egg mixture, and stir well.
Seven: Pour the eggs over the spinach into the baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Pro Tip: Touch the top of the quiche with your fingers; if it is firm to the touch, it is done!
Eight: Garnish with chopped parsley (optional), and serve immediately.
