  2. Thanks for the recipe! I freeze a bag of crustless quiche every week for my husband who has to get up very early everyday for work. This way I don’t have to get up with him to cook his breakfast. 🙂 I have never tried making quiche with pesto. Sounds delicious!

  3. This looks really yummy! I’m eager to try it. Have you tried adding nutmeg to the recipe? I understand that anytime you have spinach and cream in something, adding just a bit of nutmeg really improves the flavor. I’ve added it to recipes that have these ingredients in the past and loved it.

    1. The original recipe had nutmeg but I tweaked it out. You most certainly are welcome to add it back in though. I just felt like the addition of pesto might not react well with the nutmeg.

  5. I would like to make the crustless zucchini and pesto mini quiches using the new pam cooking spray. I still have zucchini left from my garden!
