Spinach, Tomato and Feta Crustless Quiche
This crustless quiche combines sautéed onion and fresh baby spinach with eggs, flour, and milk to create a tender, savory base. Topped with salty feta cheese and halved cherry tomatoes, it bakes to a golden edge with a set center. The dish can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled, making it versatile for different meals. The mild seasoning lets the feta's natural saltiness stand out, and the optional basil garnish adds a fresh note.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

- Lightly grease a 10-inch quiche or tart pan (or a deep dish pie plate)
- Heat the olive oil over medium high heat in a skillet, and saute the onion until softened.
- Add in the spinach and cook until just wilted (you may need to do this in batches if your skillet is too small). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool 5 minutes.
- Whisk together eggs, flour, and baking powder. Whisk in milk, then stir in spinach-onion mixture. Add pepper, mix well.
- Pour egg mixture into quiche pan. Top with feta.
- Place the tomato halves on top, and press gently so only the surface is visible.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until center is set and the edge is golden brown - and pulling away from the pan.
- Cool for 10 minutes.
- Garnish with extra feta, and some basil (optional).
- Slice, and serve.

Notes
- The quiche can be enjoyed hot, room temperature, or chilled for convenience and flexibility.
- Feta cheese provides sufficient saltiness, so additional salt is optional and can be adjusted based on preference.
- Adding freshly ground black pepper enhances the flavor if desired.
