History of Quiches

Where are quiches from? Most people think of quiches as a classic part of French cuisine … and they are, but some sources say quiches actually got their start in a different European country: Germany.

In fact, the word “quiche” comes from the German word kuchen, which means cake. Italian and English cuisines were also known for using eggs and cream in pastries dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries.

Key Ingredients

The main players in this keto crustless spinach quiche recipe provide a variety of healthy nutrients. Here are the stars of the show:

  • Eggs: As we all know, eggs are chock-full of protein and collagen, and they also contain several vital minerals and B vitamins. As such, they’re tremendous for heart, eye, brain, liver and skin health.
  • Spinach: Loaded with vitamins K, A and C, spinach is considered one of the top potential cancer-fighting foods, and like eggs, it supports healthy immunity, vision, bone health, skin and more. There are few better choices in combatting disease than spinach.
  • Raw cheese: For a dose of healthy fat, cheese made from raw milk does that more. The best part? You can choose your own version.

How to Make Crustless Spinach Quiche

How do you make a crustless quiche? You simply combine all of your ingredients in a well-greased pie pan and bake.

The eggs help hold all of the ingredients together really nicely, and you won’t miss the crust at all.

How do you make the filling for a quiche? You simply combine the cooked and raw ingredients with cheese and eggs. So simple!

You can easily use this recipe to create crustless mini spinach quiches simply by choosing a few pieces of smaller bakeware rather than one large pie pan. Be sure to slightly reduce the cook time if you choose this option.

Don’t forget that it’s easy to put your own twist on this recipe and create a crustless spinach and feta quiche, crustless spinach and mushroom quiche, spinach bacon quiche (turkey or beef bacon, of course), or a fresh spinach quiche.

To get started creating this easy spinach quiche, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and grease a nine-inch pie pan with coconut oil.

Next, add the onion to a pot. Add in the coconut oil.

Heat the coconut oil and onions over medium heat in the saucepan until onions are soft. Stir in spinach.

Cook until the excess moisture evaporates. Set that pan aside for now.

Next, put the raw cheese into a bowl. Add eggs. Add salt and pepper. Mix these ingredients together.

Variations

Throughout history and to this day, there have been many variations on quiche. If you’re looking for some ways to change this recipe up, you can also try:

  • crustless spinach mushroom quiche (add about one cup of sliced mushrooms)
  • crustless spinach feta quiche (opt for feta as your cheese of choice)
  • crustless bacon spinach quiche (include a couple of chopped-up strips of high-quality turkey or beef bacon)
  • crustless fresh spinach quiche (simply use fresh spinach rather than frozen — a typical 10-ounce package of frozen spinach is equivalent to one pound of fresh spinach sautéed down to about one and half cups of spinach after draining)
  • crustless spinach quiche with cottage cheese (cottage cheese is another healthy cheese option to use in quiche recipes)

    Perfect! I had 1 leftover gluten-free pie crust in the freezer, so I used it for most of the mixture. I also added 2 slices of Turkey bacon chopped up….delicious! Thank you Dr. Axe!

    I was diagnosed with CFS and already have celiac,hyypoglycemic, and many sensitivities to chemicals, foods, and toxic chemicals…its been challenging to figure out what to eat…
    thank you for the article it has helped me figure out what else I need to drop and if I am on track with supplements.
    grains have been a challenge I dropped flour and just found out that brown rice could be part ofmy issue also.
    IBS also a factor so this site has helped me tremendously.

    To cut down on cholesterol I use Egg Beaters original instead of eggs and there’s no change in texture or taste yet the decrease in cholesterol is significant. I use 1/4 cup of Egg Beaters for one egg so for this recipe it would be 2 cups of Egg Beaters. Enjoy.
