Quick Crustless Quiche

Quick Crustless Quiche - with everything!

Welcome to my quick crustless quiche recipe! It’s my secret weapon at the end of a super-busy day because it’s so easy and versatile.

If your life is anything like mine, sometimes you need a handful of quick, easy, and reliable recipes that you can pull together (out of thin air!) in a flash at the end of a long day. This is one of my all-time favorite ‘go to’ recipes for those times when you need them the most. Healthy, tasty, filling, fast, and almost impossible to muck up. I promise you that this will be one of your ‘go to’ recipes, too.

Pressed for time and don’t have all the ingredients for this quiche recipe? This tasty pikelet recipe can be made in a flash or try my quick and easy vegetarian san choy bow dinner that everybody will love.

Options

I’m all about you being able to personalize the recipe. My theory is that if you can make some easy adjustments to suit yours and your family’s needs, you’ll make the recipe over and over again.

Some options involve add-ins, and some involve substitutions. I’ll give you a list of both, then you can pick and choose what best suits your needs. Feel free to mix and match, depending what’s in your refrigerator and pantry on the day.

Add-ins:

  • diced onion, chopped chives, spring onions, eschallots, scallions
  • finely diced bell pepper/ capsicum
  • asparagus cut to 1/2 inch lengths
  • chopped tomatoes (just make sure there’s not too much juice or it will affect how your quiche binds while baking)
  • small chunks tinned pineapple (again, remember the juice thing)
  • corn kernels
  • crushed garlic
  • tinned tuna (although you might like to take out the bacon first – not sure how bacon & tuna would go together?!)
  • finely sliced mushrooms
  • grated carrot, grated zucchini/ courgette
  • halved cherry tomatoes (add great color!)
  • tiny florets of broccoli or cauliflower
  • basil leaves
  • sliced pitted olives
My crustless quiche just before it hits the oven. I’ve used everything in this one!

Substitutions:

If you’re interested in a low fat crustless quiche recipe that is light in calories but heavy in flavor, consider the following substitutions:

  • use skim milk
  • replace two eggs with egg whites
  • reduce butter and olive oil to 3/4 tablespoon each
  • trim fat from bacon
  • use low-fat or reduced fat cheese
  • reduce cheese quantity to 3/4 cup
  • replace bacon with vegetables

Replacing bacon with vegetables, reducing cheese, butter, and olive oil, and using low fat options, each slice of quiche becomes only 110 calories!

Little Helpers

Depending on your kids’ ages, they can help you prepare the add-ins. Breaking off broccoli florets, grating cheese, crushing garlic, or even slicing mushrooms if they’re old enough to use a knife. My children are always (a little!) more likely to eat vegetables when they’ve helped prepare them. (Although now that I’ve said that, maybe I’ve jinxed myself?!)

Little helpers grow up to become a big help.

And Finally…

I usually add a side salad – although (if I’m honest) I’m more successful sometimes than at other times. Lettuce, a few wedges of tomato, and cucumber and carrot sticks are fine to add colour, crunch, and nutrients. And in my (totally unqualified!) opinion, a salad balances out some of the cheese.

I add a large slice to school & office lunchboxes because the crustless quiche is still scrumptious the next day.

My kids think no meal is complete without a dessert, so I would recommend serving some no bake cheesecake along with this quiche to satisfy the sweet tooth in your house.

I hope you love this delicious, quick and easy quiche as much as I do, and that it becomes one of your busy-day staples.

Until next time!
Love & quick dinners, Bx

    I’ve used this recipe several times before, but tonight made a double batch and baked in two pie dishes because i had company. Everyone loved the quiche and asked for the recipe so I passed it on and had to reveal that ‘my’ recipe is actually your recipe hahaha

    I am not a cook at all and so am always on the look-out for REALLY easy recipes and this is perfect. Even I can make it! I have made this crustless quiche maybe three maybe four times now and always using different ingredients and it always turns out perfectly. I think you should call it your Magic Crustless Quiche.

    Taste was very good but I had to leave it in the oven for an extra 5+ minutes so maybe adjust times?
