Sausage and Spinach Crustless Quiche is a hearty, low-carb breakfast dish filled with savory sausage, tender spinach, and melted cheese, all baked into a creamy egg base—perfect for a gluten-free breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or 1/2 cup frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup onion, chopped (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for greasing dish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish with butter or oil.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  3. If using fresh spinach, sauté it in the same skillet until wilted. Add onion and garlic if using, and cook until soft. Let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  5. In the greased dish, evenly layer sausage, spinach, and any sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle cheese over the top.
  6. Pour egg mixture over the filling. Tap gently to even out the surface.
  7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and top is lightly golden. A knife inserted should come out clean.
  8. Let cool 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, stir in chopped herbs like parsley or thyme.
  • Use turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.
  • Make mini quiches by using a muffin tin—bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes.
  • Ensure spinach is fully drained to avoid excess moisture in the quiche.
  • This quiche can be served warm, cold, or at room temperature.
