Let’s talk ingredients!

For this recipe, you need just five simple ingredients. Let’s discuss!

Eggs– you will need 6 large eggs.
Milk– I used regular 1% but you can do half whole milk, half heavy cream for a richer quiche.
Salt– just a touch.
Cheese– 1 cup. I used mozzarella, but you could use cheddar or your favorite hard cheese.
Broccoli– a whole head of it! You MUST chop it finely if you want it to cook through in the oven. This was around 3-4 cups of finely chopped broccoli.

Mix them all up, and pour into a greased pie plate.

Can I use other vegetables?

Yes you certainly can! This is an extremely flexible recipe. Keep in mind that you must chop your vegetables extremely small in order for them to cook through with the rest of the quiche.

Here are some other veggies you could put into crustless quiche:

spinach or kale- chopped up
cauliflower rice
bell peppers- cut very small
ham- cubed
bacon- cooked & chopped
sun dried tomatoes- drained & chopped
shredded zucchini- moisture squeezed out

Is this this recipe keto-friendly?

Sure is! With just 5 g net carbs per serving, this is a great choice for a low carb or keto diet.

Can I freeze crustless quiche?

Yes you can. You can freeze the whole quiche in the pie plate, or you can wrap individual portions up and thaw as needed. Thaw completely before warming.

to warm the whole quiche, bake at 350°F for 30 or so minutes
to warm slices, I recommend heating in the microwave until steaming hot

Why is my quiche watery?

Now I did not find this recipe watery at all, but I have had this issue in the past with egg muffins or other recipes. It all comes down to how many vegetables you try to squeeze in there.

A trick I have used in my Herb & Zucchini Egg Bake is to add 1/2 cup almond or all purpose flour. This is not traditional in quiche recipes, but it will help with the watery issue.
