We’ve added a new member to the family!
Truthfully, Kiery isn’t new. She’s been part of the family for several years now, but she is newly married to our son, so officially she’s new to the family.

The Rimkus clan couldn’t be any happier with our newest addition.
So what does Kiery have to do with today’s recipe?
Much like Mom #2, she loves to cook.
Bacon!
Ready for the eggs . . .
Ready for the oven . . .
During the holidays, Kiery passed along this delicious crustless quiche recipe from Eating Curiously for me to try.
Fresh from the oven . . .
Dad #2 and I have been skipping the gluten lately, so this crustless quiche fit right into our eating plan.
Naturally, I made a few adjustments so the recipe fit what I had on hand, which included a few slices of smoky bacon.
Gluten Free Dairy Free Spinach and Bacon Quiche
Who doesn’t love bacon and eggs!
If you’re not eating gluten free or dairy free, swap the gluten free flour for whole wheat flour, and the almond milk with cow’s milk if you prefer.
How lucky could this mother-in-law get! I’ve added a lovely cook to the family, and she’s cooking for my son. It doesn’t get better than that.
Happy, healthy cooking!
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped into small pieces
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- ¼ cup parsley
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Bob's Red Mill gluten free flour
- 4 slices bacon, cooked, drained and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a pie plate with cooking spray.
- Cook bacon ahead of time. You can microwave it on a plate lined with paper towel until it's crisp if you prefer.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add onion and cook for 3 - 5 minutes to soften.
- Add spinach, thyme and parsley and cook another 1 - 2 minutes, stirring to mix up the spinach, until it lightly wilts. Remove from heat.
- Whip eggs, milk, and flour, then season with salt and pepper.
- Layer bacon on the bottom of the pie plate, then add the spinach mixture.
- Press the vegetables into the egg mixture and bake for 30 - 40 minutes until quiche is set in the middle and no longer runny.

Congratulations! Kiery is beautiful and she and your son look so very happy. The quiche looks delicious. Yes, I’d want my piece with bacon as well!

They are pretty happy, and she’s such a sweetheart. How lucky am I to have another cook in the family!
Don’t the eggs in this dish make it dairy? If you wanted to truly make this dairy free, I am sure a silken tofu would work
You know, I thought that too, but the originator called it dairy free, so I checked it out. It appears the dairy refers to the product of the mammary glands of mammals. Who knew? Anyway, I’ve often seen recipes that use silken tofu and haven’t tried it, but I need to as I was recently diagnosed with an egg sensitivity. I won’t die from them, but they definitely aren’t for me. Can you tell me how I would swap tofu for eggs?

Thank you Elissa. I must prefer this option to the powdered egg replacer I’ve been using. It doesn’t seem to work too well. Have a wonderful Sunday and thanks for the tip!
Congratulations, Kristi.
The spinach quiche looks very very tempting and I bet it’s even more delicious!

Thank you Angie. Kiery is a keeper for sure. Have a good weekend!
Congrats on the new addition to your family! It’s nice to have something in common with your daughter-in-law, especially cooking! Something you are so passionate about.
Great recipe. Funny thing is that we only ever have almond milk in the house, so this works well for us.
The Candid RD (Gina) recently posted…How Do I Decrease my Sweet Cravings?! (FAQ Friday)
I keep a little of both, but I’ve also tried coconut milk on occasion. What do you think of coconut milk? Personally, I prefer the almond when cooking.
Congratulations to the happy couple!! This is a perfect dish!!

Thank you Belinda! Have a terrific Sunday.
Congrats on the new member in your family! And she certainly provided us with a great recipe – I love the spinach and bacon combo. I might make this quiche without a crust, too, not so much to avoid gluten as to avoid calories! Good stuff – thanks.

We don’t necessarily eat gluten free around here, but like you, we’re avoiding the calories. I’d rather have the bacon than the crust.
Congrats, Jason and Kiery, and well done Kristi on getting such a gorgeous daughter-in-law who also is a wonderful cook. Good idea to cut out the crust (it can return in February when I’ve lost those Christmas pounds!) Happy New Year to you and yours, Hester x

I’m working on those Christmas pounds myself. The elliptical trainer has been my friend.
Congratulations to you and your family! How nice to have a daughter in law who loves to cook! I wish my son will marry someone who enjoys cooking! This quiche looks delish!
