Crustless Broccoli Cheddar Quiche
Spinach and Ricotta Quiche and Chicken Quiche are so popular on my site, but I often get asked how to make it crustless. For this low-carb version, I made this with no crust, and added lots of broccoli plus I used some light cream to give the eggs more of a creamier custard texture, as most quiches have rather than a spongier baked egg texture. This turned out delicious! I also love this perfect for sharing, bite-sized, crustless veggie and turkey quiche.
This quiche is low-carb, keto, gluten-free and easy! Add a salad on the side and it's the perfect vegetarian lunch.
Broccoli Quiche Variations:
- You can add some diced ham or bacon and use slightly less broccoli.
- Try this with mozzarella cheese or Colby Jack cheese in place of cheddar.
- You can swap more milk in place of the half & half cream, but the texture won't be as creamy, it will have a spongier texture.
- Make them in individual ramekins in place of one large pie dish.
- If you wish to use a crust, follow the directions for this recipe using a deeper pie dish, and use less broccoli.
- Refriegerate 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
