Spinach & Tomato Crustless Quiche image

This recipe is slightly altered from Holly Clegg's "Meals on the Move", so it's meant to be fast and healthy. I only changed the garlic and basil, since I've learned to appreciate fresh ingredients. This is tasty and she says it serves 6. Maybe so, but unless it's an appetizer, I say 4 for a light lunch with some fruit on the side. Looks low carb to me, too.

This was a great recipe! I made it for my family and everyone loved it. The quiche was fluffy and flavorful, and the spinach and tomatoes added a nice pop of color and flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this quiche was! I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but it was cooked perfectly and didn't overpower the other flavors. The quiche was also very moist and flavorful.

This recipe is a keeper! I love that it's crustless, which makes it much lighter and healthier than traditional quiche. The spinach and tomatoes add a nice pop of color and flavor, and the quiche is cooked perfectly every time.

I'm not a huge fan of quiche, but this recipe was really good! The crustless version is much lighter and less filling than traditional quiche, and the flavors were well-balanced. I especially liked the addition of the tomatoes.
