Crustless Quiche Recipe (2024)

This Crustless Quiche recipe is so easy and quick to get in the oven that in addition to serving it for Sunday morning brunch, you may just find it becomes one of your new go to meals for busy weeknights. About 15 minutes prep time and then into the oven to bake while you get the rest of your and your family’s evening organized.

I’m going to give you the basic recipe that I use but I’ll be completely honest and say that I rarely make this the same way twice.

It’s such a great way to use up all those little bits and pieces of veggies and small chunks of cheese and meat thatI usually just use whatever we have in the fridge at the time.

Crustless Quiche Recipe

  • About 10 small baby red potatoes cooked, cooled and sliced
  • 4 to 5 green onions chopped finely (approx½ c)
  • 1 to 2 stalked of celery chopped finely (approx½ c)
  • 1 c of small broccoli florets
  • 1 c of raw baby spinach, sliced finely
  • 1½ c diced ham
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • ¾ c whole milk
  • ¼ c Parmesan cheese (I used a mixture of Asiago and Parmesan)
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • 1½ c of grated marble cheese (or cheese of your choice)

Generously butter whatever dish you’re using.

I used a 10.5″ fluted quiche dish but you can really use any kind of shallow baking dish.

Gather your ingredients.

Slice leftover potatoes about 1/8 inch thick and arrange in a single layer in the bottom of the dish. The potatoes create the base of the quiche, replacing the crust.

Next, layer on half of each of the chopped vegetables and ham, starting with the finely sliced fresh spinach. Adding the other ingredients on top of the spinach keeps it from floating to the top when you add the egg mixture.

Note: Reserve the grated marble cheese for the final topping.

Add a second layer with chopped veggies and ham. .

Crack the eggs into a large measuring cup and beat well.

Add enough milk so that you have 2 cups of egg/milk mixture (about¾ c of milk.)

Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder and Parmesan cheese. Pour over the vegetables and chopped ham.

Quite often I will double this recipe and divide all the ingredients between one large quiche dish to be served that day for brunch or dinner and two smaller dishes to pop into the freezer for future meals.

Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 50 to 60 minutes or until the egg mixture has set and the top is a nice golden brown.

If you’re having the crustless quiche for a weeknight dinner, it can be served directly from the pan.

But if serving for Sunday morning brunch, you may want to slice and transfer the entire quiche to a pretty cake plate.

Here, I’ve garnished it with radish and tomato roses and whole baby spinach leaves.

What is the difference between a frittata and a crustless quiche? ›

Crust: A quiche has crust while a frittata does not. Sometimes, quiche is baked without crust. Base Ingredients: While both frittatas and quiches are made with eggs, quiche is made with an egg custard, which also includes cream or milk. Some frittatas are made with egg whites only.

Why is my crustless quiche soggy? ›

If your quiche appears too watery to serve it could be because it was overbaked or underbaked, the egg to dairy ratio was not correct, the ingredients have too much liquid or it was baked on the wrong rack in the oven.

Is milk better than heavy cream in quiche? ›

Heavy Cream and Milk – For the best tasting quiche, use a combination of whole milk and heavy cream. (Or simply use half-and-half.) Using just heavy cream produces an overly thick filling. Whole milk is great, but a combo of heavy cream and milk is better.
