This Crustless Quiche is a simple and delicious for breakfast or a quick dinner. It also makes a great lunch all week long…is there anything this Crustless Quiche can not do!?
A perfect clean out your fridge recipe. Great for left over ham, veggies, sausage or most anything you have on hand that goes with eggs!
Do I have to use milk to make this Crustless Quiche?
- Nope. Simply omit the dairy or substitute with your favorite milk alternative, like almond or soy. NOTE: Careful not to over bake if omitting the milk/milk alternative as eggs can dry out quickly in the oven.
Whats the difference between a frittata and a crustless quiche?
- Not much! A frittata is started in a skillet on the stove top and moved to the oven to finish cooking. It’s simply a different way to prepare your eggs.
We like to add the cheese and fixins’ right into the scrambled egg mixture rather than scattering on the bottom and pouring the eggs over as you would a quiche with crust. This keeps the cheese mixture from sticking to the bottom of your pan.
What are some suggested add-ins and how much should I use?
1/2 cup cheese plus 1 cup of the following or a mixture of many!
- broccoli
- zucchini
- feta
- onion, all kinds
- bacon, cooked
- ham
- sausage – cooked
- fresh cut tomatoes
- fresh chives
Don’t forget the toppings!
- salsa
- sour cream
- guacomole
What do I serve with this Crustless Quiche?
- fresh fruit
- light green salad if serving for lunch or dinner
- potatoes – roasted, hash browned or any kind of potato!
- steamed veggies like broccoli or asparagus
How did you get that asparagus to stay on top of the quiche and not sink to the bottom? It’s so fancy!
- Bake your quiche for 20 minutes and pull the oven rack out slightly. CAREFUL IT’S HOT! Lay your asparagus on the partially cooked quiche and continue to cook until done.

This was excellent. I used asparagus and cheddar and a little bacon. I did have to bake about 45 minutes until set.
Kathryn A Stevens says
Loved this recipe. I made it for my Bible Study group and they asked that I share the recipe. I used bacon, onion, mushrooms and spinach. I sauteed the vegetables and separately cut the bacon in pieces-tossing all into the egg mixture. I used 1 cup of almond milk and 3/4 cup shredded cheese. I prepared the glass pie pan with unsalted butter and baked at 350 for approximately 35 minutes. Delicious!
Kathi & Rachel says
Wow I love your additions and also the use of almond milk! I am so glad you loved the recipe…please come back for more! Kathi
Monah says
Can I use oat milk?
Kathi & Rachel says
Yes! All milk and substitutes will work for this recipe. The eggs firm it up.
Ginny Watt says
Do you use a 9 inch pie plate for this? And what is the brand of the nice white pie plate you used in the photos of the recipe? And do you steam the asparagus before adding it to the top of the quiche? Does the asparagus cook enough in the oven?
Thank you so much for your reply and all your wonderful recipes. I am my mom’s full time caregiver and she loves things I cook using your recipes.
Kathi & Rachel says
Yes a 9 inch pie plate. It’s most likely a cheap and cheerful Pyrex dish, we love em’. No, you do not need to precook the asparagus it gets plenty tender cooking in the egg. So glad you and your Mom love our recipes :). Kathi

Can we substitute cheese with tofu?
Liz Hila says
I used almond milk and it was very difficult to get it firm, added 10 minutes and have be to see what happens
Kathi & Rachel says
Hi Liz – I’ve used almond milk several times for the recipe but havnt had a problem. Maybe be your oven is a bit on the low temp side. Its common. Hoping it worked out!
Patty says
I would like to make a crustless quiche and deliver it to our neighbors, who just welcomed their first baby. I don’t want them to have the hassle of keeping track of the quiche pan so I’m wondering if it’s possible to remove the whole, uncut quiche from the dish without breaking it. Any ideas/suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Patty
Kathi & Rachel says
Sure! Just let it cool a bit and invert on a plate then flip it back again right side up. Make sure a really spray it well with non stick. Lucky neighbors!
Robyn Graham says
Why can’t I pin or share the recipe?
LaughingSpatula.com says
Oh no! We love it when you pin and share our recipes! I just tried and it works for me. Wondering if you need to clear your history and be sure you are signed into Pinterest.
Tisha says
Great brunch idea! Love there is no crust!
Marie says
This looks so delicious! I love “clean out your fridge” recipes. A quiche is perfect for that!
Dannii says
We love making a crustless quiche to use up all the veggies in our fridge. A great low carb option too.
Luci's Morsels says
This look so yummy and I absolutely needed your insider tip for keeping the asparagus on top of the quiche! Genius!
ali randall says
What a great way to wake up on a weekend morning. I would add bacon or salty pancetta to mine and love the asparagus or any kind of veggie. This would be delicious for Easter as well.
