As I’m pretty blurry eyed when I wake up, all I can usually manage is making my morning cup of coffee. Thinking about preparing breakfast while still sleepy is not the first thing on my mind.

Instead, I keep a few grab and go breakfast items on hand like freezer smoothies. Having a hearty breakfast waiting for me the the fridge is a lifesaver. My recipe for Crustless Spinach and Bacon Quiche Squares is loaded with favorite quiche ingredients but, skips the crust. The hearty breakfast will keep you full until lunch time.

  • large eggs

  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground pepper

  • bacon
  • cheddar cheese

This crustless quiche with fresh spinach and bacon recipe is easy to prepare. The ingredients are ones you usually have on hand. Whip up eggs, cheese, some sort of cooked breakfast meat like bacon or sausage, and any vegetables hanging out in your refrigerator. Pour into a greased baking dish, bake for about 30 minutes, and breakfast is ready. Easy peasy.

suggestions and cooking tips

  • The #1 reason I love this recipe is that it doesn’t have a crust. The less steps the better when I’m trying to navigate the kitchen in the wee morning hours. No rolling or prebaking of the crust to mess with. And my crust was never quite right when it came to quiche making. It was either a little soggy or not the right size to fit my pie pan.
  • It’s best to cook the vegetables before adding them to the quiche. Otherwise the quiche will not set up quite right. Either sauté or steam the veggies. If you are in a hurry, zap the finely diced vegetables in the microwave at 30 second intervals until they are just cooked through.
  • Cut the quiche in nice neat squares for serving. Refrigerate any leftovers and reheat in the microwave on 60% power for 30 seconds.

what are good quiche fillings?

Making quiche is fun to make as you can prepare it any way you like. Change up the fillings and add your favorites. Some combos I love to make include ~

  • broccoli, cheddar and ham
  • spinach, Swiss and bacon
  • tomato, herb goat cheese and breakfast sausage
  • red and yellow bell peppers, onion and pepper jack cheese
  • cherry tomato, bacon, scallion and blue cheese

    Do you recommend freezing this with the egg added or without? I was thinking about freezing just the veggies and bacon, then adding the egg the day I cook it.

    I have only frozen the recipe from the baked version. But your suggestion would work too. I love it!
