JUMP TO RECIPE

Difficulty: Easy

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Servings: 10

Ingredients

  • 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup small curd cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups grated cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 °F. Spray an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Unwrap the spinach and put it, box and all, on a plate. Microwave and cook on high power for 4 minutes. Allow it to cool and remove it from the box. Squeeze out all of the liquid out of the spinach and put it into a medium bowl.

Combine the eggs, sour cream, cottage cheese, Parmesan, flour, salt and pepper, in a medium bowl. Stir together, or blend in food processor until the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the mixture into the bowl with the spinach. Add the cheddar and blend with a spoon until well mixed. Pour the spinach mixture into the baking dish and smooth out the top.

Bake until set, about 45 minutes. Remove the baking dish from the oven. It will be puffed up, but will fall slightly as it cools. Allow it to cool, then, refrigerate. Cut it into squares and serve.

This is my absolute favorite go-to meal. We love it for breakfast, dinner or supper. I often substitute 1/4 cup (more or less) of almond meal in place of the flour. (I just put some sliced almonds in my old coffee grinder). I also use fresh chopped spinach (maybe 1 cup or so - I'm not good at measuring) instead of the frozen spinach. Love it!

Tremendous recipe. Not the 'ho-hum' spinach quiche recipe that I used to bring to parties. This one was a very big hit. Highly recommend! You may need to bake longer than 45 minutes, especially if you are baking two or more pans.

I made this today for a Bridal Shower. I had a Spinach Quiche recipe that was 'ho-hum' and wanted to bring something more special. This Paula Dean crustless spinach quiche was a tremendous hit! People asked for seconds and thirds. The recipe went around the tables like hotcake. People took pictures of it. A woman told me, "This is even better than my Aunt Mary's". Be careful - you may need to cook it more than 45 minutes, especially if you have two or more pans in the oven.

Crustless Spinach Quiche - pan ???

For the "Crustless Spinach Quiche" it calls for 8x8 pan.  Can I use a regular pie plate (quiche) instead????  Who uses an 8x8 pan for quiche....doesn't look as nice??

Yes, you can use a pie plate.
