Crustless Sausage and Spinach Quiche
This Crustless Sausage and Spinach Quiche combines cooked Italian turkey sausage and wilted spinach with a custard of milk, half and half, eggs, and cheeses. Baked without a crust, the result is a dense, protein-rich dish with creamy texture from the cheeses and custard. The nutmeg and black pepper add subtle seasoning that complements the savory filling.
