These Spinach Feta Quiche Muffins taste like spinach artichoke dip and are a breeze to make! | low carb, gluten-free, keto, thm

I’m still visiting at my parents house in Texas and having such a great time. My son has been playing catch and soccer with his cousin and my daughter has been interacting with “Princess Kristen” who just turned two last Thursday. Let me tell you, this is what it’s all about… watching your children play with your siblings children and then the grandparents doing what they do; loving, supporting, laughing, comforting. Although I miss my husband during this yearly Spring trip, I left him in good hands with a double batch of these tasty low carb spinach feta quiche muffins. 

It’s no secret that I love a good low carb quiche. I’ve published at least 6 low carb quiche recipes on the blog in the last year and a half, with the most popular being a low carb, crustless bacon and spinach quiche. It’s my favorite for everyday eating. In fact, I ate it almost every day for over a year because it’s easy to make and oh, so delicious. I’m like that, I can eat the same thing over-and-over, if it’s good, and not get tired of it.

But sometimes I have to change it up!

I decided it was time for the spinach bacon quiche to meet my all time favorite spinach artichoke dip and have a love child. These feta spinach quiche muffins are the best of both worlds. They are easy to prepare, convenient for snacking and great for freezing. Although they are small they pack a mighty wallop of flavor. Were talking sweet from the ham, salty and tangy from feta cheese, and an overall great seasoned flavor from onion, garlic, dry sherry and a hint of red wine vinegar. All of these tastes combine to make these spinach feta quiche muffins the perfect little ketogenic breakfast package for your low carb diet.

The quiches are cooked in a muffin tin using ham as the crust. It doesn’t actually become crispy, but it helps keep the muffin tin mess free and contributes a lot of flavor. I didn’t use any special ham, just a very thinly sliced prepackaged sandwich ham I found in the refrigerated grocery aisle. I replaced the heavy cream with cream cheese and seasoned the quiche similarly as I did the spinach artichoke dip.

If you aren’t into super cute muffin quiches then give these great recipes a try:

  • Spinach Bacon Onion Crustless Quiche
  • Ham Quiche Lorraine with Caramelized Onions (perfect for brunch)
  • Ham and Arugula Quiche with Creamy Havarti & Smoked Gouda

These Spinach Feta Quiche Muffins are 2 net carbs each!

Ingredients

Frying Pan

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil butter, ghee or bacon grease
  • ½ cup onion, small dice (2 oz)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened until "melty" in the microwave
  • 3 tablespoons dry sherry
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Medium Bowl

  • 10 ounces frozen spinach thawed and squeezed dry
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 ounces feta cheese cumbles
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (4 oz)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 6 ounces thin deli ham, (12 thin slices)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 and place the rack in the middle position. Spray a 12 hole muffin pan with baking spray and line with 1 piece of ham per each muffin well.
  • In a medium frying pan, saute the onions and garlic until translucent. Then add the sherry, cooking until the alcohol smell burns off. Add the vinegar and then the melty cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese has fully melted and the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  • While the onions are sauteeing, add the remaining ingredients to the medium bowl and mix thoroughly. When the onion-cream cheese mixture is ready, add it to the bowl and mix with a hand mixer until blended.
  • Divide the spinach feta quiche mixture evenly between the 12 cups, spooning it right into the ham lined muffin wells. I find that a ⅓ cup measure works perfectly.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until cooked through. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container or freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave.
  • Makes 12 quiches at 2 net carbs each.

    I am just trying these today… Question, I only have my hubby and myself at home…what would be the best way to store these after cooking for future breakfasts. I was thinking of freezing them, then placing them in vacuum sealed freezer bags. This way the vacuum sealing won’t smoosh them.

      Hi Karen. I freeze individual pieces all the time, thaw them in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave the next day. -Kim

    Made the quiche as is, also made it with cut up ham and sprinkled on top and pushed into mixture. I also made it with no ham at all.
    I just sprayed the pan and pored the mixture in.
    All of them came out wonderful

    Took this to a party and 8/8 people said this was the best quiche they had ever tasted. Instead of ham, I just used compostable cupcake liners. I cooked a little lower and a little longer and it carmelized a little. Was absolutely delicious

    Hello! Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’m looking forward to making it for my family this weekend. I was wondering if instead of ham, could I line the muffin pans with uncooked bacon? Could that work?

      Hi Lily, great question. No, the bacon wouldn't cook all the way. Could you par-cook it in the oven first, maybe half way, then line the muffin tins? This would also reduce the amount of fat that may pool in the muffin cups. You can also just leave the meat out. I used it as a preventative for sticking. I hope this helps. -Kim

      Hello Pau! Yes, cream cheese is Philadelphia cream cheese which is soft, creamy, and a little tart. It melts nicely and creates a nice base for creamy low carb sauces. -Kim

    Starbucks has something similar (called
    Sous vide so they can charge a lot!) and they use
    bacon as the base. I can’t wait to try these bc I’ve
    been spending my kid’s’ inheritance by buying those daily!

    I live in the UK. I find. As I am the only one doing the diet your recipes very appealing but, they contain ingredients that are alien to me. they are not in our shops. do you do a version with ingredients common to the UK. I can source some of your ingredients on-line but it will not be cost effective. can you help please

      Hi Stanly. I'm sorry you are having a hard time finding ingredients. Sukrin is found in the UK and is my preferred sweetener, but you can also also use your favorite low carb sweetener. I also like their low carb flours and sugar-free chocolates and jams. You can always ask me about substitutes and I am happy to help. Have a wonderful day. -Kim

    Can you substitute the cream cheese with feta or goats cheese? Sounds delicious.

      Lyn, the texture and taste of the feta are different than cream cheese, but you could try it. It might be good, just lacking that salty-tangy flavor. I'll be interested to know how you like it. Have a nice weekend. -Kim

        I bet goat cheese would give it the same creaminess.

    This are FABULOUS. Really. I have been making other breakfast muffins/ crustless quiches but these beat them all out. Wasn't sure I wanted so much spinach first thing in the morning, but boy was I wrong. Loved these.

    I did a tiny tweak and added a 1/4 tsp of dill per the feta thing, and a pinch of nutmeg (again, pretty standard in savory quiches). So fabulous and so filling. Took your suggestion and greased the muffin cups with bacon fat as well. And lining the cups with ham....wow. What a perfect little package.

    Have seen comments about freezing....how do they freeze and reheat....would love to know.

    Can't recommend these enough.

      Hi Deborah. I'm so glad you liked these, we did too! I love putting nutmeg with spinach - a classic, and I bet the dill with the cheese was a nice compliment in flavor. These freeze and reheat great! I've made double batches before and frozen the other. Thanks so much for leaving a comment! Enjoy your week! -Kim

      Hi Cindy. You can try dry white wine or dry vermouth if you have them. Can I convince you to purchase some if alcohol is something you aren't against? It gives such a wonderful flavor to foods and only a little is needed. It really makes a difference. If you don't or can't have it, it's no biggie - it just gives it a little more flavor. Thanks for your question. Enjoy the muffins, my husband loves these. Enjoy your day. -Kim

Don't you just love those moments in life when everything is so calm, peaceful and just right? Everything just seems to fall in place. Meanwhile, your husband sure is lucky that you cooked up a batch of these amazing quiche muffins for him before you left. Love how you created such an awesome, low-carb goodie.
