This Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Crustless Quiche is a savory, creamy, and colorful dish packed with tender spinach, tangy feta, and flavorful bursts of sun-dried tomato. The eggs create a soft, satisfying custard while skipping the traditional pastry crust keeps the recipe simple and relatively low in carbohydrates. Naturally protein-rich and easy to prepare, it works beautifully for breakfast, brunch, meal prep, or a light dinner.

Can This Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Crustless Quiche Support Weight Loss Goals?

This quiche can fit into a balanced weight-management eating pattern because eggs provide protein while spinach adds volume and fiber without contributing many calories. Leaving out the pastry crust also reduces the amount of refined carbohydrate compared with a traditional quiche. Portion size and the rest of your daily food intake still matter, but this is a practical protein-focused meal option.

Does Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Crustless Quiche Fit a High-Protein Lifestyle?

Yes, this crustless quiche provides protein primarily from eggs, milk, and feta cheese. Spinach adds fiber and micronutrients, while sun-dried tomatoes provide concentrated tomato flavor with a relatively small amount of carbohydrates. With approximately 5–6 g of net carbs per serving depending on the ingredients used, it can fit comfortably into many lower-carb eating patterns. For an even higher-protein version, use high-protein milk or add extra egg whites.

My Personal Experience

  It also makes preparation much faster when you’re cooking for a busy morning.

  Individual slices are easy to refrigerate and grab for breakfast or lunch.
  The quiche remains flavorful after gentle reheating without needing extra toppings.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• No crust required:
  There is no pastry to roll, chill, or blind-bake.
  Just whisk, combine, pour, and bake.
• Creamy and tender:
  The egg-and-milk custard creates a soft texture that pairs beautifully with the vegetables.
  Baking gently helps prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery.
• Loaded with flavor:
  Sun-dried tomatoes and feta provide salty, tangy, savory notes throughout the quiche.
  Fresh spinach adds an earthy balance to the richer ingredients.
• Easy to customize:
  You can add herbs, black pepper, mushrooms, or a little onion without changing the basic method.
  The recipe is forgiving and easy to adapt.
• Great hot or cold:
  A warm slice is comforting straight from the oven.
  Chilled or room-temperature slices also make convenient meal-prep portions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Adding wet spinach: Excess water can make the quiche watery, so squeeze cooked spinach thoroughly or wilt fresh spinach and drain it well.
2. Using too many sun-dried tomatoes: They have a concentrated flavor and can overpower the eggs and feta if used excessively.
3. Overbaking: Remove the quiche when the center is just set with a slight gentle wobble; it will continue cooking as it rests.
4. Skipping the greasing step: A well-greased baking dish makes the crustless quiche much easier to remove and slice.

Required Equipment

• 9-inch pie dish — provides the ideal depth for an evenly cooked crustless quiche.
• Large mixing bowl — gives enough room to whisk the egg mixture thoroughly.
• Whisk — creates a smooth, evenly blended custard.
• Sharp knife — makes chopping spinach and sun-dried tomatoes quick and consistent.
• Rubber spatula — helps combine ingredients without breaking them down excessively.
• Measuring cups and spoons — keep the ingredient proportions consistent.

Storage Instructions

Allow the quiche to cool for about 20–30 minutes, then transfer slices to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

For meal prep, store individual slices in separate airtight containers so they are easy to grab and reheat while keeping the protein-rich meal convenient.

To freeze, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap or freezer paper and place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 2 months for the best quality.

Thaw frozen slices overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat refrigerated or thawed slices in a 325°F (165°C) oven for 10–15 minutes or microwave for about 45–90 seconds, until heated through.

Short 3-Line Description

This crustless quiche combines fluffy eggs, tender spinach, tangy feta, and flavorful sun-dried tomatoes.
It’s an easy high-protein, lower-carb breakfast that requires no pastry crust.
Perfect for brunch, meal prep, quick lunches, or a light vegetarian dinner.

📝 Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• ½ cup (120 ml) milk or heavy cream
• 2 cups (60 g) fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• ½ cup (85 g) sun-dried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped
• ½ cup (75 g) crumbled feta cheese
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, optional
• Cooking spray or 1 teaspoon olive oil, for greasing

Note: If your sun-dried tomatoes are packed in oil, drain them well before chopping. Feta and sun-dried tomatoes can already be quite salty, so adjust the added salt to taste.

Directions

1. Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
2. Prepare the spinach: Place a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped spinach. Cook for about 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted.
3. Remove excess moisture: Transfer the spinach to a clean towel or paper towels and gently squeeze out excess liquid. This step helps prevent a watery quiche.
4. Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning for about 30–45 seconds, until well combined.
5. Add the fillings: Stir in the spinach, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and about ¾ of the feta. Reserve the remaining feta for the top.
6. Fill the dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread the ingredients evenly so every slice gets spinach, tomato, and feta.
7. Top with feta: Sprinkle the remaining feta evenly over the surface.
8. Bake: Place in the 375°F oven and bake for approximately 30–35 minutes. The edges should look set and lightly golden while the center should have only a slight wobble.
9. Rest before slicing: Remove from the oven and let the quiche rest for 10 minutes. The center will finish setting as it cools slightly.
10. Serve: Slice into 6 portions and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

High-protein cooking tip: For an even higher-protein version, replace part of the whole eggs with liquid egg whites. This increases the protein contribution while keeping the quiche light and tender.
