This week I made crustless broccoli quiche and it disappeared during breakfast and snack time! It is fiber and protein loaded, is easy to make and a sure way to get more veggies into your kids.

This broccoli quiche with no crust packs insane amount equal to 4 cups of broccoli. Just like spaghetti squash quiche and crustless zucchini pie, it’s a great way to hide veggies from kids.

Red onion and garlic add flavor without sauteing and disappear in a fluffy egg mixture. Salty feta cheese melts inside and a few handfuls of cheddar add that irresistible golden crust on top. So good!

Ingredients for Crustless Broccoli Quiche

• Eggs: 7 large or I used 9 medium eggs. You can also use egg whites with replacement ratio of 1 large egg = 1/4 cup egg whites.
• Broccoli: 1 pound or 4 cups of fresh or frozen broccoli works. If using frozen veggie, run it in a colander under hot water and drain well. I finely chop even the stalk, especially if it’s organic, and use in dishes like healthy broccoli salad or healthy beef and broccoli.
• Milk: Quiche without milk is not a quiche but rather a frittata. Creamier milk, more flavor dense is the quiche. You can use non-dairy milk, just be ready for more thin flavor.
• Cheese: Feta cheese because it tastes amazing combined with fresh herbs and garlic. And a sprinkle of cheddar on top adds nice golden crust, but is OK to skip or sub with any other hard melting cheese.
• Onion and garlic: Red onion is perfect for quiche because it adds mild flavor without sauteing. Regular yellow onion needs sauteing and you can do that, throw garlic in there too.

How to Make Crustless Broccoli Quiche

Serving Ideas

Crustless quiche is high in protein, fiber and healthy fats. So it’s a low carb meal on its own. Below are a few great pairings if you need more:

• Creamy tomato soup – classic and easy 15 minute soup.
• Avocado salad complements high protein quiche with more healthy fats.
• Fruit salad
• With a crusty bread or high protein bread like cottage cheese bread.
• Tea or coffee.

How to Store and Reheat

Serve quiche warm or cold. Are you like me and one of those people that thinks quiche tastes even better cold?! I recommend to slice it into 8 slices after baking, cover and refrigerate in same baking dish up to 5 days. Makes it such an easy grab and go meal!

Freeze quiche in airtight container for up to 3 months. I absolutely love these reusable 1 gallon silicone bags. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

Reheat quiche in a microwave or in the oven at 375 degrees F which would take about 15-20 minutes.

FAQs

Can I make it ahead of time?

Yes. Make ahead by assembling quiche completely and refrigerate until ready to bake. Since there is no raw meat involved, quiche can wait for you for up to 2 days. Speaking of make ahead Easter, Mother’s Day or Holidays dish. Don’t forget to warm up dish on a counter for about 30 minutes before baking, otherwise it might crack.
