Easy Quiche Recipe Crustless
Quiche is one of those things that sounds fancy but is actually fairly easy to prepare and make.
And the best part is that you can fill it with all sorts of stuff! This means it can be vegetarian, meaty, cheesy, creamy…. or a mix of all.
Below is a guide on how to whip up a easy quiche and some ideas for fillings. Let’s get into it.
Vegetarian Quiche Fillings
If you are a veggie lover, quiche is your best friend. There are so many options, and they are all super tasty.
Spinach and Feta – This is a classic combo. Just chop up some fresh spinach (or use frozen but make sure to drain it really well). Crumble some feta cheese into the mixture, or place it on top. The saltiness of the feta and the freshness of the spinach are like a match made in heaven.
Mushroom and Onion – Saute some chopped mushrooms and onions until they are soft and golden. This is a nice savory flavored quiche. You can even add a little garlic or butter for extra kick.
Broccoli and Parmesan– Chop up some small pieces of broccoli and add in grated parmesan cheese. This is a great one if you like a bit of crunch with your cheese.
Zucchini and Bell Pepper – Slice up zucchini and bell peppers thin, then toss them in. They add some fantastic color and a bit of sweetness.
Honestly, anything you like can go into a vegetarian quiche. Just saute the veggies or salads first so they do not make the quiche watery. That is a pro tip I learned the hard way.
Meat Quiche Fillings
If you are more into the meaty stuff, no worries. Quiche can handle that too. Here are some ideas.
Ham and Cheese – This is a classic. Use diced ham and whatever cheese you like (cheddar or Swiss are my faves). It is simple but super good.
Bacon and Gruyere – This one’s a little fancier because of the Gruyere cheese, but bacon makes everything better, right? Fry up the bacon until crispy, and mix it into the quiche.
Sausage and Mushroom – Cook up some sausage and toss in some mushrooms for an awesome savory quiche. The flavors blend really well together.
Chicken and Spinach – Got leftover chicken? Shred it up and mix it with spinach for a protein packed quiche. Add some cheese if you want (I always do).
You can mix and match any meats and cheeses too. That’s the cool thing about quiche… it’s flexible!
Quiche Serving Options
So you have made your quiche. Now what?
Quiche is awesome because it is good hot, cold, or somewhere in between. You can slice it up and serve it for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even dinner.
- Breakfast/Brunch.. Pair it with a fruit salad, some toast, or even a smoothie. It is filling but not too heavy to leave you lethargic all morning.
- Lunch.. Quiche and a simple green or garden salad make a great combo. Light but still satisfying.
- Dinner.. Serve your quiche with some roasted veggies or a side of potatoes. Or pair it with your favorite salad recipe. Quiche and salad is my go to.
Leftover quiche? No problem! Just pop it in the fridge, and it’ll be good for a few days. You can reheat it in the microwave or eat it cold if you’re in a rush. Quiche is the perfect meal prep option if you are busy.
