This Crustless Sausage Spinach Mushroom Quiche is hearty and satisfying, perfect for brunch.

Crustless Sausage Spinach Mushroom Quiche - perfect for brunch over the holidays!
Recently, I volunteered to make a quiche for our church’s newscomers’ brunch. I love the idea of a group of people cooking for others as a way to welcome them. Although I would have loved to make a breakfast casserole of some sort, I ended up making this quiche simply because I thought it would be better served at room temperature than the breakfast casserole.

When I spotted this recipe on Cooking Light, I noticed it was “crustless” which I thought meant it was more of a frittata. As it turns out, flour and baking powder are two of the ingredients, which create a sturdier texture to this quiche. I chose Pamela’s Gluten-Free Baking and Pancake Mix in place of flour and baking powder.

Quiches are great foils for adding a variety of vegetables. I think the vegetables actually make a prettier quiche, and it certainly doesn’t hurt that they add extra nutrition to this brunch dish. For the meat lovers, I added some Italian style chicken sausage. After all, real guys do eat quiche ;).

    Jeanette, we love crustless quiche at our house! In fact, we had mini crustless quiches (recipe on my blog) on Christmas Eve! Looking forward to trying your recipe with sausage, spinach and mushroom soon. Ideal for winter or spring, or anytime. Thank you for sharing. 🙂 Wishing you and your family all the best in the New Year! xo

    If you wanted to use flour and baking powder, what would the measurements be?

      Hi Megan, I would use a substitute self-rising flour recipe which is basically 1/2 cup flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt.

      Hi Laurie – I think that should work – you will probably just need to bake it a little longer. Stick a knife in the middle and make sure it comes out clean.
