This Gluten Free Quiche is a delicious and savory dish perfect for breakfast, brunch, or light dinner. Made without traditional flour crust, it features a fluffy, custard-like filling packed with eggs, cheese, and your choice of vegetables and meats, all baked to golden perfection. The recipe is ideal for those avoiding gluten but still craving a comforting, versatile quiche.


Ingredients

Crustless Quiche Filling Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for even baking of the quiche.
  2. Prepare the vegetables and bacon: If not already cooked, sauté the diced onion, bell peppers, and spinach until softened. Cook the bacon until crispy, then chop into small pieces.
  3. Mix the egg base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Add fillings: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, and sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
  5. Prepare the baking dish: Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Pour the mixture: Pour the combined egg and filling mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake the quiche: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The top should be slightly golden.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
