Crustless Broccoli Cheddar Quiche (Low Carb) is a flavorful, low-carb quiche packed with sharp cheddar and bacon to complement the broccoli. It’s an excellent option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and is both keto-friendly and gluten-free.
This quiche is rich, creamy, and incredibly satisfying. The combination of cheese, broccoli, and bacon creates a classic savory profile that works beautifully in a crustless quiche.
The recipe is quick to prepare, taking only minutes of hands-on time, and leftovers reheat well for easy meals throughout the week.
How to Make Crustless Broccoli Cheddar Quiche
- Steam the broccoli until crisp-tender. You can steam it in the microwave or on the stovetop with a steamer basket. Avoid overcooking since it will finish cooking in the oven.
- Cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet until crisp, then remove and set aside.
- Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease and sauté the diced onion in it until soft and translucent.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then fold in the steamed broccoli, chopped bacon, sautéed onion, and shredded cheddar.
- Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9-inch pie plate and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Can You Freeze Crustless Broccoli Cheddar Quiche?
Yes. After baking, allow the quiche to cool completely. You can freeze the whole quiche, but I recommend slicing it and wrapping individual portions for easier reheating. Reheat slices in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
The quiche is tasty warm, at room temperature, or chilled. If you’d like to vary the flavor, substitute half of the cheddar with Swiss or Monterey Jack.
