How To Make Crustless Quiche
I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card. This crustless quiche is bursting with sweet tomatoes, fresh basil, and melty cheese, giving you that Caprese salad vibe in every bite, and I love that it doesn’t require pre-cooking anything. Here are the ingredients you’ll need for that, but below that I’ve got my formula to use any fillings you want, plus other flavor combos!
Tomatoes – I used grape tomatoes this time, but have also made this crustless quiche with cherry tomatoes and even roasted tomatoes. I don’t recommend larger chopped tomatoes, as they can be too watery. You can toss in some sun-dried tomatoes, though. Fresh Basil – This is my favorite. You can also use other fresh herbs, like parsley or thyme. Garlic – Nothing beats fresh minced garlic, but if you are in a hurry, 2 teaspoons of jarred minced garlic will work. Eggs – Use room temperature eggs to get the smoothest custard texture. Milk Or Cream – Choose any kind you like! I used store-bought almond milk, but you could make my homemade almond milk, or use dairy milk, half and half, heavy cream, or coconut milk. Cheese – I chose fresh mozzarella cheese balls. Feel free to use shredded or cubed cheese instead. Sea Salt & Black Pepper
1 1/2 to 2 cups cooked meats or vegetables – or ones that don’t need cooking, like the tomatoes and basil I used here 8 large eggs 1/3 cup milk or cream – any kind 1 to 1 1/2 cups cheese – depending on how cheesy you want it 1/2 tsp sea salt – or less if using salty meats 1/4 tsp black pepper – or more to taste
Broccoli Cheddar – Finely chopped sauteed broccoli + shredded cheddar cheese. One of my faves! Ham & Swiss – Throw in diced ham and shredded or cubed Swiss cheese. I like a ham and cheese crustless quiche almost just as much as the Caprese version, because it’s another option with no pre-cooking. Zucchini – Use sauteed zucchini and onions, fresh dill or chives, and any cheese you like. You can also use my crustless zucchini quiche recipe instead. Spinach – You can use thawed and drained frozen spinach or sauteed spinach, and I liked this one with a blend of mozzarella and feta cheese. I also have a different recipe for crustless spinach quiche here. Quiche Lorraine – My fave French-inspired version with bacon and cheese! This is one of the most popular recipes in my Easy Keto Cookbook.
Breakfast Meats – Pop some bacon in the oven, or turkey bacon for a lighter option. Sweet Breads – I love this crustless quiche with my healthy zucchini muffins or banana bread for a sweet and savory combo. Pancakes – Try my almond flour pancakes or coconut flour pancakes for fluffy, healthy options. Salads – My fave brunch salads lately are antipasto salad, radish salad, or cucumber tomato salad.

I discovered that their garden cherry tomatoes are starting to ripen, so I’m hoping they might have enough or me to make this crustless quiche before we leave Minnesota. I’ve heard that tomatoes are some of the easiest veggies to grow, so I need to try it one of these days. So far the only plants I can keep alive are a cactus and my basil plant, ha. Do you grow tomatoes, and if so, do you have any tips for me? Let me know in the comments below!
