Easy Spinach Crustless Quiche

Featured in Veggie meals full of flavor.

This crustless quiche puts a fun twist on the traditional French dish. It's a lighter version you can make faster. Freshly cooked spinach adds an earthy taste, while soft cheese and cream deliver an irresistible, creamy texture. Small bacon bits bring a smoky, salty flavor, complementing the spinach perfectly. Cooking in single servings not only looks fancy but ensures they cook evenly. And since there's no crust, it's a wholesome dish that’s comforting but easy on your waistline. Great to prepare ahead and reheat whenever you need it!
