Difficulty Easy

All the savoury richness of a Greek spanakopita filling in a fuss-free, crust-free quiche form. Eggs and cream are whisked together and baked with wilted spinach, tangy feta, a whisper of fresh dill and a backbone of sauteed leeks. Without a crust to make or pre-bake, the whole thing comes together quickly and slices beautifully. Perfect for brunch, a light dinner with a green salad, or meal prep lunches that hold up all week. Naturally gluten-free and can easily be doubled for a crowd.

Directions

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 190 C (375 F). Butter or oil a 25 cm round pie dish or ceramic baker.
  2. 2
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for 6-7 minutes until very soft but not browned.
  3. 3
    Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add the spinach in handfuls, stirring until fully wilted, about 3 minutes (if using frozen, just warm it through).
  4. 4
    Transfer the vegetable mixture to a colander and press out as much liquid as you can. This is critical to avoid a watery quiche.
  5. 5
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, nutmeg, 1/2 tsp salt and a generous grind of pepper.
  6. 6
    Stir the cooled vegetable mixture, most of the feta (reserve a small handful), dill and chives into the egg mixture.
  7. 7
    Pour the filling into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the reserved feta on top.
  8. 8
    Bake for 35-40 minutes until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top but still has a slight jiggle in the very centre.
  9. 9
    Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
