I recently discovered the easiest crustless quiche that changed my brunch game completely. It’s a simple yet amazingly versatile dish that lets you experiment with whatever you have on hand.

I start with 8 large eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, and a cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or swiss work great) to create a delicious base. Then I mix in 1/2 cup diced ham and 1/2 cup of my favourite chopped veggies like spinach or bell peppers.

A little salt, some black pepper, and just a pinch of dried thyme really bring it all together. This quiche is perfect for those busy mornings when you need breakfast quiche recipes that are easy and satisfying, and it works equally well for dinner when you want something a bit different.

I love how you can tweak it each time to fit whatever you have in the fridge. Enjoy diving into this simple yet tasty twist on a classic!

FAQ

How do I prevent the quiche from sticking?
Just be sure to grease your dish well with butter or cooking spray before pourin in the mixture. It usually helps a lot.

Can I mix up the types of cheese and veggies?
Absolutely. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses and vegetables based on what you have at home.

Do I need to pre-cook the ham or veggies?
Nope, you can use them raw since the eggs and milk will cook them through. Just make sure everything is chopped evenly.

How long should I bake the quiche?
Bake it at 375°F for about 25 to 30 minutes. The edges might be a bit set while the center is still wobbly but that's okay, it will firm up as it cools.

Can I freeze leftovers?
Yes you can. Just make sure you let it cool completely then store in an airtight container. To reheat, pop it back in the oven till its warmed through.

The Easiest Crustless Quiche Recipe Substitutions and Variations

If you dont have whole milk, try unsweetened almond milk or soy milk instead. They’ll work just fine in your quiche.
You can swap the cheddar or swiss with something like Monterey Jack or even smoked Gouda if you want a smoky flavor.
If ham ain’t your thing, turkey bacon or even a bit of cooked sausage can be a cool replacement.
Not in the mood for typical veggies? Use chopped broccoli, zucchini or even a few cherry tomatoes to mix things up.

Pro Tips

1. When you mix the eggs and milk together, let it sit for a couple minutes before adding the rest. This extra time helps the flavors blend a little better and makes the dish smoother.
2. Be sure to chop the ham and veggies evenly; if some pieces are too big, they might not cook the same as the rest, so it helps to aim for similar sizes.
3. If you want to add a little twist, try swapping regular ham for smoked ham. This can bring a richer, slightly smokey flavor that really stands out.
4. Don’t just trust the clock for doneness – check your quiche by poking it with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, then you’re good to go, even if your oven runs a bit differently than others.
