If you ask me, crustless quiche recipes don't get the attention they deserve.

And, this Mediterranean crustless quiche recipe with spinach and feta is one of my favorites! Check out the health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet.

Quiche lovers may be wondering if they'll miss the crust.

With just nine ingredients, this savory Mediterranean-inspired high-protein quiche recipe is so easy (and delicious). Check out the health benefits of protein.

To make this gluten-free crustless quiche recipe, here are the wholesome ingredients you'll need to gather: olive oil, cherry tomatoes (check out the health benefits of tomatoes), fresh spinach (check out the health benefits of spinach), eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, cottage cheese and feta cheese (here's why feta is one of the healthier cheeses). The shredded cheddar, mozzarella or Parmesan cheese topping is optional. You sauté the vegetables before combining them with the rest of the ingredients. Then you bake it up until cooked through and golden. So simple!
