CRUSTLESS SPINACH QUICHE
I served this crustless quiche at a church lunch, and I had to laugh when one guy told me how much he disliked vegetables. Many people were surprised by how much they loved this veggie-filled quiche recipe-and he was one of them! -Melinda Calverley, Janesville, Wisconsin

CRUSTLESS SPINACH QUICHE (LOW FAT)
I found this on the internet, I think on a Cabot cheese site, when looking for a way to use up some leftover egg whites. I like it for breakfast or brunch with fruit salad but it could easily be a side dish for dinner.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it's wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Using a blend of cheeses will give your quiche a more complex flavor. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
- Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make your quiche tough. Just whisk them until they're well combined.
- Bake the quiche until it's set: The quiche is done when it's set in the center and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
Conclusion:
This crustless spinach quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. It's packed with protein and vegetables, and it's also low in fat and calories. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover spinach. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give this crustless spinach quiche a try.
