Crustless Spinach Quiche

1 small onion - chopped

1 large orange bell pepper

1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)

1 Tablespoon vegetable or canola oil

5 large eggs - beaten

3 cups shredded Cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese (or a combination)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Prepare a 9-inch pie pan with a generous coating of cooking spray.



Preheat oven to 350 degrees.



In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute the onions in the oil until soft and translucent and bell pepper. Add the spinach and continue cooking about 5 minutes - stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.



In a large bowl, stir together the eggs, cheese and seasonings.



Add the spinach mixture to the egg mixture and stir to combine. Pour combined mixture into prepared pie pan.



Bake for 30 minutes or until eggs have completely set. Allow the quiche to cool for five or ten minutes before slicing into wedges to serve.


For a fun twist, try pouring the batter into greased muffin cups about 1/3 full to make adorable personal mini-quiches.
