Crustless quiche is one of my favorite breakfasts to make when mornings are busy. It comes together so quickly — just mix the ingredients, bake, and you’re done. Plus, it’s loaded with cheese (and protein!), so it’s a guaranteed hit with my boys.

Making this No Crust Quiche Recipe

This no crust quiche recipe requires a simple stirring of ingredients and baking at a preheated oven at 350°F. It’s really that simple!

  • Make the egg mixture: Crack the eggs into a large bowl, then pour in the milk and half and half. Whisk to combine.
  • Season the egg mixture: Add the shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss cheese are my favorites), Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and stir to combine together. Optionally, add in your favorite meats, veggies, and herbs.
  • Bake the quiche: Pour the eggs into a 9-inch buttered pan and pop it in the oven for about 45 minutes. Let it cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks for Crustless Cheese Quiche

I have a few simple tips and tricks that I know will help you make this crustless quiche recipe a “no-brainer” part of your weekly meal rotation.

  • Make the egg quiche in a muffin tin (optional): For easy grab-and-go breakfasts, make the quiche in a buttered muffin tin instead. Refrigerate or freeze the “quiche muffins” and simply reheat them in the microwave!
  • Add dijon for a pop of flavor (optional): For a pop of tang, add in a spoonful of dijon mustard to the egg batter. You don’t need a ton, but just enough to add extra depth of flavor!
  • Check the center before removing the quiche: The quiche is fully cooked when the center of the quiche is no longer jiggly. Make sure to wear an oven mitt when you gently shake the pan back and forth.

Need a solid pie pan? I love this 9-inch Staub pie pan. It’ so sturdy and makes for the perfect presentation right out of the oven!

Quiche Filling Add-Ins

Customize this quiche with your favorite ingredients and make it your very own. Add as much variety out of the following options that your heart desires. Here’s a few of my favorites to inspire you.

  • Meats: Of course, the usual breakfast suspects like bacon, ham, and country sausage are all killer options. If you’re feeling more adventurous, add in chorizo, prosciutto, or pancetta. Go crazy!
  • Cheeses: Typically, I like to pair Parmesan with cheddar cheese, Swiss, or mozzarella here. If you want, feel free to swap in feta, goat cheese, or Gruyere cheese instead.
  • Spinach: You can use fresh or frozen spinach. If you use frozen, make sure it is fully thawed and all the liquid is squeezed out.
  • Mushrooms: Adding in sautéed mushrooms gives such good flavor. I obsess over chanterelles when they’re in season and keep shiitakes in my fridge year-round
  • Broccoli: Dice the broccoli into bite-sized pieces before using for the best texture and bite.
  • Tomatoes: There’s nothing like a juicy roasted tomato baked into your quiche. I like using halved cherry tomatoes or diced roma tomatoes with the juice drained.
  • Asparagus: Chop the asparagus into bite-sized pieces before adding them into the eggs. You can also sauté them for increased flavor.
  • Onion: Feel free to use purple, white, yellow, or green onions chopped into small pieces.
  • Herbs: Add in fresh parsley, basil, dill, or chives to the mix for a pop of flavor and color.

Hot tip: If you decide to add lots of fillings to the crustless cheese quiche, be careful not to go overboard! I typically keep it to roughly a cup or two of fillings in total!

Storing & Reheating Quiche

Unless you host a crowd or feed a large family, you will likely end up with leftover quiche. Here’s how to best store and reheat it again later.

  • Refrigerator: Store the remaining cooked quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Freezer: Freeze the crustless quiche whole or in slices for up to a month. Make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn! Then, bake or reheat from frozen.
  • Reheating: For best results, pop the quiche into the oven at 350°F and heat until warmed through. For a faster option, the microwave always works.
