Best ways to enjoy it
Serving this Easy Crustless Spinach Quiche is part of the joy! You can enjoy it warm right out of the oven, or let it cool and serve it cold — both are delicious. Pair it with a light salad for lunch or brunch, or add some crusty bread for a heartier meal. You can also dress it up with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream for an extra flair.
Storage and reheating tips
If you have leftovers (which are great for quick meals later!), store your quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat individual slices in the microwave or pop it back into the oven at 350°F until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze it before baking. Just ensure it’s wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil — it can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
