🧀 Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper & Feta Crustless Quiche
📖 Description
This dish looks like a rich, fluffy crustless quiche (or baked egg casserole). It’s packed with sautéed spinach, creamy feta cheese, and sweet roasted red peppers on top. The texture is soft and custardy inside with a lightly golden top, making it perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. The little drizzle you see could be olive oil or honey for a sweet-savory twist.
