About this Recipe:
Sara: Brunch or light lunch? You can decide! This is a crust-less quiche recipe which makes it lighter and healthier than the usual with crust recipes. Spinach and cheese are classic combinations. You can substitute your favorite kind of cheese in this recipe to make it your own. Feta instead of mozzarella, Asiago instead of cheddar... the possibilities are endless. This recipe can be served at room temperature.
