Crustless Quiche Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, optional
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional
How to Make Crustless Quiche
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until slightly soft, then add the spinach and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the vegetables cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, and paprika. Whisk everything together until the eggs are smooth and all the seasonings are evenly mixed.
Step 3: Combine the Ingredients
Add the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese to the egg mixture, then gently stir in the cooked vegetables. Mix everything until the cheese and vegetables are spread evenly throughout the eggs without overmixing.
Step 4: Bake the Quiche
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the edges are firm, the center is set, and the top is lightly golden.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This gives the eggs time to finish setting and makes the slices easier to serve. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy warm.
