CRUSTLESS SAUSAGE AND SPINACH QUICHE

 

This Crustless Sausage and Spinach Quiche with Italian chicken sausage, spinach and cheese is an easy and healthy recipe for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.

. For this low-carb version, I made this with no crust, with chicken sausage and spinach plus I used some light cream to give the eggs more of a creamier custard texture, as most quiches have rather than a spongier baked egg texture. This turned out delicious! It’s so easy to make and is perfect for any meal of the day.

This Crustless Sausage and Spinach Quiche is so tasty you won’t even miss the crust. Skipping the crust saves on the calories and carbs, making this quiche low- carb, keto, and gluten-free.

CAN A QUICHE BE MADE THE NIGHT BEFORE?

Yes, quiche is great for meal prep. You can make it ahead of time and bake it the next day before you’re ready to eat
