Photo: Spinach and Smoked Gouda Crustless Quiche Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (10-ounce) box frozen spinach, thawed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 4 ounces grated smoked Gouda cheese, about 1 cup
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Generous pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup chopped trimmed scallions, white and green, about 8
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie pan with the soft butter and sprinkle half the Parmesan on top. Place the pan on a baking sheet.
Squeeze the spinach in batches, very firmly by hand, to remove excess water. Put spinach in a food processor, along with the eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, Gouda, flour, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Pulsing until mixture is an even green color with bits of spinach, about 30 seconds. Add the scallions and pulse briefly to mix. Pour mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and paprika.
Place on the lower rack of the oven bake until quiche is just set in the center, about 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before serving.

Made this last night. Over all wasn't bad. I did read the reviews first before starting and took into account that people were finding it "tasteless" so I did season it a little more liberally than I normally would have. It was pretty good. I'll probably make it again but not a huge hit with the people I made it for. It just tasted like a quiche... nothing more nothing less. Maybe I was expecting too much.

I know this is one of the healthier recipes, but it lacks flavor, needs salt, and something to help the dish along. I would not make this again without adding some bacon, and a little bit of red pepper or something to give it a kick.

First time making and eating quiche for me. Requested by the wife.
Straight forward instructions and pretty easy to follow. I read previous reviews and tried to avoid the mess by mixing in blender. Worked perfectly, minimal mess. Turned out wonderful ! I'm a fan, wife's a big fan ! Will make again.
