Crustless Spinach Quiche





Quiche has its origin in France. It is a tart consisting of pastry crust filled with savoury custard and pieces of cheese, meat, seafood or vegetables. However, today I am making a crustless quiche where the base is made up of just eggs, cream and cheese. I am adding onion and spinach to it.


Ingredients:

  • 200 g spinach, chopped
  • 1 medium-size onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 2 cups Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Deep muffin tin

Method:
  • Wash and chop up the spinach.
  • Peel, wash and chop up the onion.
  • Peel, wash and chop up the garlic.
  • Heat up a pan with olive oil.
  • Saute the onion till they soften.
  • Add the chopped garlic and saute them till fragrant.
  • Add the spinach and fry them till they are soft.
  • Remove the pan from the fire and let the ingredients cool down. Transfer the ingredients to a sieve to remove excess liquid.
  • Crack the eggs and beat them.
  • Add the cream and beat till they are incorporated.
  • Grease the muffin tins.
  • Spoon the spinach into the muffin tins.
  • Spoon the cheese on top of the spinach.
  • Pour the egg and cream mixture on top of the cheese.
  • Sprinkle more cheese on top.
  • Baked at 175 deg C for 30 min or longer till the cheese is browned.
