CRUSTLESS SPINACH QUICHE
I served this crustless quiche at a church lunch, and I had to laugh when one guy told me how much he disliked vegetables. Many people were surprised by how much they loved this veggie-filled quiche recipe-and he was one of them! -Melinda Calverley, Janesville, Wisconsin

- Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).
- Pour the white wine into a very large saucepan, or soup pot. Add the peeled and sliced shallots, salt and pepper, and gently saute until they begin to soften.
- Add handfuls of the fresh spinach and keep turning it over as it cooks, you want to gently wilt it and have it reduce to about half it's volume, but NOT to be cooked down to mush. This should only take about 2-3 minutes for all of the spinach.
- Pour all of the spinach/shallot mixture into a large mixing bowl, and let cool a little. (You will have some wine left in the bottom of the pan, and yes, it goes into the mixing bowl too).
- While the spinach is cooling, beat the five eggs in a seperate bowl.
- The add the flour to the spinach mixture and mix it in well, then add the Gouda cheese, milk, the finely diced sundried tomatos, and finially the beaten eggs. Mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow quiche dish approx: 11 inches x 1 1/2 inches deep (27 cm x 4 cm deep) that has been sprayed with a small amount of baking spray.
- Sprinkle the un-toasted pine nuts on the top of the quiche and bake at 375 F (190 C) for between 45-55 minutes. To test that it is cooked, a wooden skewer should come out clean and the top will be a little puffed up and golden brown.
- Serve warm and enjoy the sublety of the wine flavours as they compliment the rest of the spinach quiche.

SKINNY CRUSTLESS SPINACH QUICHE

Tips:
- Prep Work: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are measured and prepped. This will save you time and ensure that your quiche comes out perfectly.
- Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach is best for this quiche, but if you only have frozen spinach, thaw it and squeeze out as much excess water as possible before using.
- Cook the Spinach: Cook the spinach in a large skillet over medium heat until it is wilted. This will help to remove excess moisture and intensify the flavor.
- Use a Variety of Cheeses: This recipe calls for a combination of Gruyère, Parmesan, and cream cheese. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese.
- Don't Overbeat the Eggs: When you whisk the eggs, do it gently until they are just combined. Overbeating the eggs will make the quiche tough.
- Bake the Quiche in a Water Bath: This will help to prevent the quiche from cracking and will also help it to cook evenly.
- Let the Quiche Cool Before Serving: Allow the quiche to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it to set and will make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
This crustless spinach quiche is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you are serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this quiche is sure to impress your guests.
