A creamy, flavorful, and satisfying low-carb crustless quiche featuring fresh spinach and nutty gruyere cheese, perfect for keto-friendly breakfasts or any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (about 300g), room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups (about 150g) shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 3 cups (about 90g) fresh spinach, roughly chopped and lightly sautéed
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add chopped spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted and most moisture evaporates, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess liquid.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1 cup heavy cream until well combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Stir in salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and onion powder carefully.
  6. Fold in 1 ½ cups shredded Gruyere cheese and the sautéed spinach, mixing gently to distribute evenly.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the quiche puffs slightly and the center is just set but still a bit jiggly.
  9. Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing to allow it to firm up.
  10. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for even baking. Sauté and drain spinach well to avoid soggy quiche. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Freshly shredded Gruyere cheese melts better than pre-shredded. Can substitute Swiss cheese if needed. For dairy-free, use coconut cream and vegan cheese substitute.
