Crustless quiche is a light, low-carb alternative to traditional quiche, made with eggs, milk, cheese, vegetables, and optional meats. It’s simple to prepare, highly customizable, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick, comforting dinner.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or half-and-half
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, or a mix)
  • 1–1.5 cups chopped vegetables (e.g., spinach, mushrooms, onions, peppers, zucchini)
  • 1/2–1 cup cooked meat
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for sautéing vegetables)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté vegetables until soft, then set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  4. Stir in shredded cheese, sautéed vegetables, and cooked meat if using.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  7. Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Sauté vegetables before adding to reduce moisture and prevent sogginess.
  • Swap milk with half-and-half or heavy cream for a richer texture.
  • Use any cheese or protein you prefer—feta, goat cheese, or sausage all work well.
  • Bake in muffin tins for mini quiches (reduce bake time to ~20 minutes).
