The crustless quiche is hearty and delicious, but also guilt-free because it is made without a crust! I made this easy crustless quiche recipe with delicious breakfast sausage, pepper jack cheese, bell peppers, and onions, but you can totally customize it to suit your tastes and what you have on hand.

We have learned from experience that our readers love a dish that leaves out the pie crust- Our Crustless Tomato Pie is one of our most popular recipes of all time, and that Crustless Squash Pie is not far behind.

Ingredients for Crustless Breakfast Quiche

• Eggs- This will form the foundation for your quiche. Use room temperature eggs for each blending. 
• Heavy cream- The heaviness of the cream will make the no crust quiche silky smooth. You can also use regular milk if you prefer, but it won't be as rich. 
• Breakfast meat- We used breakfast sausage, but you can use ham, bacon, or whatever you prefer!
• Vegetables- We used red bell pepper and onion
• Seasonings- We used garlic powder, salt, and pepper
• Pepper Jack cheese- To give the quiche a satisfying cheesiness and a hint of spice.

How to make quiche without crust

1. First, cook your peppers and onions (or whatever veggies you care to use) in a large skillet with olive oil until soft.
2. Then, add your sausage and cook until it's no longer pink. If you're trading out the sausage for diced ham or crumbled bacon you can skip this step and just add them in at the end. Be sure to drain the sausage well.
3. Next you're going to whisk together the eggs, cream, and seasonings in a large bowl. I just used salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you can use whatever floats your boat!
4. Fold the meat, cooked vegetables, and cheese into the egg mixture and pour the quiche filling into a prepared quiche dish or pie pan.
5. Bake 35 minutes or until set in the middle and golden brown on the edges. Let the baked quiche cool 5 minutes before cutting into individual slices.
   

Substitutions and Variations

This recipe is 100% customizable so use whatever ingredients you'd like. Not a fan of sausage? Try ham or bacon. You could even use turkey bacon to lighten it up even more!

Don't want the spice from the pepper jack? Use cheddar cheese, Monterey jack, or a Mexican blend. If you want your savory quiche to taste totally different, try feta cheese, gruyere cheese, or even Swiss cheese like is used in a classic quiche lorraine.

The veggie options are completely endless. Here are some of my favorite ingredients that would be delicious in this easy quiche recipe:

• bell peppers
• fresh spinach
• broccoli - a broccoli quiche is a classic!
• green onions
• yellow or red onion, or even shallot
• mushrooms
• fresh herbs

Storage Tips

Covered and refrigerated, this will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container.

You can also freeze it after cooking and it will keep up to 2 months! Just be sure to thaw it overnight before serving and then heat it up in the oven until good and hot. About 15 minutes at 350 degrees should be good.
