Crustless Quiche

Description

This Crustless Quiche is a light, fluffy, and protein-packed dish loaded with eggs, cheese, and your favorite vegetables or meats without the extra carbs of a traditional crust. Easy to prepare and perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or meal prep, this versatile recipe is comforting, flavorful, and naturally gluten-free.

Ingredients

6 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
1 cup spinach or mixed vegetables
½ cup cooked bacon, ham, or sausage (optional)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Butter or cooking spray for greasing dish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a pie dish or baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth.
Stir in cheese, vegetables, cooked meat (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the center is set and lightly golden.
Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Spinach, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers work especially well.
Use fully cooked meats before adding to the mixture.
Letting the quiche rest helps it slice cleanly.

Tips

Add herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
Use half-and-half instead of milk for a richer texture.
Great for meal prep and reheats beautifully.
