Whenever I realise that I’ve been eating a bit too much cheesecake and my trousers won’t do up, Crustless Quiche is my go to meal.

Somehow, this tasty, wobbly, cheese topped dish still feels like a mega treat, but served with a salad (or some new potatoes for dinner) it makes a really light meal.

It’s packed with protein so really keeps me full for ages too. A win all round.

How do you make a Crustless Quiche?

To make a Crustless Quiche, you just pop your filling of choice into a shallow dish, pour over beaten eggs and cheese and bake until set.

What’s the difference between a Crustless Quiche and a Frittata?

They can often have very similar ingredients, but traditionally a Frittata would be cooked in a frying pan on the hob (and often finished off under the grill). A Crustless Quiche differs as it’s cooked in the oven.

Can you make a quiche ahead of time?

Yes, in fact cold quiche, and this Crustless Quiche makes a brilliant packed lunch dish. Just allow to cool fully, wrap well and then store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Is quiche unhealthy?

Traditional quiche uses a pastry based, which is packed with fats. Often the quiche filling includes heavy or double cream which also adds to the calorie content, making quiche quite unhealthy.

This Crustless Quiche omits the pastry and cream, and adds in heaps of vegetables to really improve the recipe for anyone who is feeling a little health conscious.

Tips for making a Crustless Quiche recipe:

Don’t use a dish that’s too large or your Crustless Quiche will be too shallow. I LOVE my Pyrex pie dish from Amazon (the 25cm version). The perfect size for this Crustless Quiche and heaps of other dishes and will last a lifetime.
You can mix this recipe up with different meats or cheeses. How about Bacon and Mushroom? Or Pea and Ham? Or leave the meat out for a vegetarian Crustless Quiche.
If you’re following the Slimming World plan, this Crustless Quiche is Syn free if you could the cheese as part of one of your Healthy Extra portions and use Fry Light instead of Olive Oil.
