Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create your own savory masterpiece:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or any milk you prefer)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or a mix—your choice!)
- 2 cups mushrooms (sliced, any variety you fancy, I love cremini or button mushrooms)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced, fresh garlic adds more punch than powdered)
- 1 cup fresh spinach (roughly chopped, or sub with any greens you enjoy)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter, whichever fat you prefer)
- Optional: fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions
Now that we have our ingredients, let’s get cooking!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is the perfect temperature for cooking our quiche to a golden perfection.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it’s soft and translucent.
- Next, throw in the garlic and mushrooms. Stir and cook until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes. Don’t forget to keep stirring, so nothing sticks! And remember, the more you sauté the mushrooms, the deeper the flavor will be.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, and stir until wilted—this should only take about 1-2 minutes. Once that’s done, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season generously with salt and pepper; don’t be shy with the seasoning! It’s essential to get that flavor in the eggs.
- Now, blend in the cooled mushroom mixture and the shredded cheese. Give it a good mix, but don’t overdo it—just enough to combine everything nicely.
- Pour the mixture into a greased pie dish or a 9-inch round baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed to make it even.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. You can tell it’s ready when the edges puff up slightly, and a toothpick comes out clean!
- Once baked, let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. It’s so tempting to dive in immediately, I know! But letting it cool helps it set up a bit more, making for cleaner slices.

Pro Tips & Variations
Feeling adventurous? Here are some fun twist ideas and tips to personalize your crustless quiche:
- Want to go dairy-free? Swap the cheese and milk with plant-based alternatives, like almond milk and nut cheese, and you’ve got yourself a vegan-friendly dish!
- Add some cooked bacon or ham for a protein-packed version. Just sauté it with the onions for added flavor.
- If you love herbs, toss in some fresh herbs like basil or dill for an unexpected zing. Fresh herbs can elevate the entire dish!
- Need some heat? A pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños can spice things up a notch.
- Don’t forget about adding seasonal vegetables! Think roasted red peppers, zucchini, or asparagus—it’s a great way to use up whatever veggies are on hand.
Serving Suggestions
Oh, the ways you can serve this quiche! I love pairing it with a side of mixed greens drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast. If you’re feeling indulgent, warm crusty bread or flaky croissants are perfect for brunch. And let’s not forget a rich, dark cup of coffee or herbal tea to round out the experience. Imagine sitting down at a sunlit table, a slice of this quiche in front of you, and a gentle breeze wafting through the window—pure bliss!
Storage Tips
This quiche is not just a one-time delight; it makes for fantastic leftovers! Here’s how to keep it fresh:
Refrigerate: Once it’s completely cooled, you can cover the quiche with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It’ll last for about 3-4 days in the fridge.
Freeze: To freeze, slice the quiche into portions, wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap, and then in aluminum foil. Place the wrapped slices in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll stay happy in the freezer for about 2-3 months!
Reheating: When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply pop it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave slices for a quick fix, but they won’t be quite as crispy.

FAQs
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble it the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning. Just cover it tightly in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
What can I substitute for the mushrooms?
Feel free to replace them with any veggie you love—bell peppers, zucchini, or even broccoli work beautifully in this recipe!
Is it possible to make this quiche without eggs?
Yes! You can try substituting the eggs with a mixture of silken tofu and nutritional yeast or chickpea flour and water for a vegan option. The texture will be different, but still delicious.
How can I make this quiche spicier?
For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, or even some smoked paprika for an extra depth of flavor.
What’s the best way to reheat leftover quiche?
The oven is always my favorite method! It keeps the texture lovely and crispy. But the microwave works well for a quicker option; just be sure to cover it to avoid a rubbery texture!
