Spinach, Mushroom, & Feta Crustless Quiche

Okay, so this dish was great!  I put it together in about 20 minutes, while the kids were resting and set the alarm on my phone, so that at 5:00 I would remember to throw it in the oven.  It turned out SO yummy and the kids ate it too!!!  My once very picky 4 year old, ate a whole piece and it is full of mushrooms and spinach! YAY!  He is finally understanding the importance of eating his fruits and veggies to stay healthy!  I did get him all excited about it by telling him it was cheesy pie that was full of healthy veggies to fight off his cold. I mean, I hate that his little brother is still sick...but what can I say other than he hasn't been eating much of his fruits & veggies!

Super Easy Recipe but comment below if you have any questions or suggestions!

Oh yeah and it makes 6 servings at about $1 per serving!



8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced and cut
3 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz. frozen spinach
4 eggs
1 c. milk (skim or another variation like almond milk is great)
1/2 c. feta (reduced fat if you can find it)
1/4 c. Parmesan (grated, fresh is always better)
1/2 c. Mozzarella, shredded (part-skim)
salt & pepper to taste
non-stick spray as needed




1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. If your frozen spinach is not already thawed, thaw it by running water over it in the colander. Press it into colander and let it drain while you begin to prepare the rest.

2. Rinse the mushrooms and slice them thinly. I cut them a little too, just to help with the kids eating them. Place the sliced mushrooms in a skillet coated with non-stick spray, add the minced garlic, and sprinkle a little salt and pepper. Turn the heat on to medium-high and saute the mushrooms until they release all of their moisture and no more water remains on the bottom of the skillet (5-7 minutes).

3. Spray a pie dish with non-stick spray. Squeeze the rest of the water out of the spinach and spread it out on the bottom of the pie dish. Next add the cooked mushrooms and crumbled feta.

4.  In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs until fairly smooth. Add the milk, Parmesan, and another small sprinkle of pepper. Whisk to combine. Pour this mixture into the pie dish over the spinach, mushrooms, and feta.

5.  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over top. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet for easy transfer into the oven. Place the quiche into the preheated oven and bake until it is golden brown on top and the center is solid. Every oven is different but this should take between 45 minutes and an hour. Slice and serve! If it still has a little water in it when you pull it out, it is fine, it will soak up once it comes out of the oven.
