Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), finely chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Add the cooled spinach mixture to the egg mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the quiche is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Italian Style Crustless Quiche as-is or with a light green salad on the side!
