Sausage and Spinach Crustless Quiche
Description
The quiche starts by browning ground breakfast sausage until nearly cooked, then cooking it together with cream cheese until melted and incorporated, creating a creamy, savory base. Fresh baby spinach is briefly steamed to soften and provide color and mild vegetal flavor. A whisked blend of eggs and heavy cream is poured over the layered sausage mixture, spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese in a greased casserole dish.
Baked at 375°F (about 190°C), the dish sets into a custard-like consistency without a pastry crust, offering dense texture and concentrated flavors. Cheddar adds richness and sharpness complementing the creamy sausage and earthy spinach. The quiche’s filling is moist and hearty, suitable for breakfast, brunch, or light dinner.
