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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the chopped baby spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 5

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 6

Add the cooled spinach mixture to the egg mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your Italian Style Crustless Quiche as-is or with a light green salad on the side!
