How to Make this Crustless Spinach and Cheese Quiche?

First, gather all the ingredients needed for this recipe. Next, you will need to cook the vegetables. Then whisk the egg mixture with the vegetables, and pour it into your pie plate and bake. Simple, easy, and not complicated.

Ingredients Overview:

• frozen chopped spinach – 1 package (10-ounces) – allow it to thaw
• 1 large onion
• eggs – at least 5 large eggs, or 6 small eggs
• shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• shredded mozzarella cheese
• grated Parmesan cheese
• olive oil, and some butter
• seasonings – salt and black pepper
• one 9-inch baking pie dish
• olive oil cooking spray – to spray the baking dish

Directions to Make It:

Here are step-by-step directions with photos to help guide you while you make it:

1.  First, Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190C). Next, start by chopping the onion. Prepare your 9-inch baking pie dish with cooking spray, and set it nearby. Next, sauté the onions for 5 minutes or more to soften and caramelize them.  

2.  In the meantime, whisk 5 eggs, add the three kinds of cheese and seasonings. 

3.  Next, transfer the thawed spinach to a small strainer and press down with a spatula or a large spoon to squeeze out the excess water. 

4.  Then transfer the spinach to the onions simmering in the skillet and continue to cook for 3 minutes, stirring to flavor the spinach.

5.  Combine the spinach mixture with the egg and cheese mixture and pour it into a prepared 9-inch baking dish.

6. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 C), for 18 to 25 minutes, until the edges and top are golden brown.  Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before serving.  Then serve warm or at room temperature.
