Crustless Spinach Quiche

Being raised by a mother who opened a tea room, Jason has had his fair share of quiches growing up. Often times if he has the opportunity to order quiche from a menu he will do so. Certain foods can hold special memories for people and for Jason this is certainly one that takes him back to his days at the tea room and of his mom. This is a wonderful meal you can have for breakfast, lunch or even dinner served along side a simple green salad. Not to mention it's both satisfying and delicious.

Most quiches are cooked inside of a pie crust but I wanted to avoid the additional fat and calories, making this a crustless quiche. You can easily add and change ingredients using vegetables that are in season or things you already have on hand. I thought the feta went perfectly with the other ingredients in this dish but Goat cheese or Gouda would make a nice substitute as well.
