Crustless Vegetarian Quiche
So many quiche recipes, so little time! 😁. Here’s one that I recently made for my sister, who’s vegetarian. I made it without a crust (because dealing with a crust seemed like too much effort on this particular day), and I’m happy to say that we both really enjoyed it!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Shred the cheeses, if needed.
- 2
In a few teaspoons of olive oil, sauté the onion and red pepper for 3 to 5 minutes or until slightly softened.
- 3
Add the zucchini and continue to sauté until the slices are crisp-tender. Add the spinach and fry until wilted.
It’s good to try to get the veggies as dry as possible. If they are soggy, the quiche will be too watery.
- 4
Separately sauté the mushrooms over medium-low heat until they are no longer wet. They should be slightly browned. This could take about 10 minutes.
Add fresh herbs (if desired) and garlic towards the end of cooking time so that they sauté for 1 or 2 minutes.
- 5
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- 6
Transfer the veggies to a plate. Spread them out so that the steam can escape and the veggies can cool and dry further.
- 7
Whisk the eggs well. Add the freshly ground pepper and the cottage cheese. Stir to incorporate.
Add 1 and 1/2 cups shredded cheese to the eggs. Stir again.
- 8
Pour 1/3 of the egg mixture into a greased deep-dish pie dish. Layer the zucchini slices over the eggs.
- 9
Sprinkle some of the shredded cheese over the zucchini. Then, layer some of the veggies over the cheese. Continue layering in this way. Place the sliced tomatoes on the top.
- 10
Bake the quiche at 350°F for about 50 minutes, or until the sides and top of the quiche are lightly browned and there is minimal jiggle in the middle of the quiche.

Notes:
🧀 I used a combination on Gruyère and Provel (a blend of cheddar, Swiss, and Provolone cheese). You can use any of these as well as mozzarella, Muenster, Monterey Jack, Colby, Havarti, Asiago, or even some Parmesan.
🧀 You could probably decrease the amount of cheese and still end up with a good quiche.
🌿 I used fresh thyme and some dried oregano, but you can use any combination of herbs (dried or fresh) that you like.

Back in the 1980s I saw this dish being prepared on television in Argentina. It is easy, flexible, and forgiving. It is a good vegetarian side dish; besides, it freezes and reheats well.

This came out really well. Nice and light with lots of flavor from all the veggies and spices. My fiance really loved it and he usually isn't a fan of quiche, he thinks it tends to be bland. But, he said this one was awesome.

Crustless Quiche With Lots of Vegetables Crustless Quiche With Lots of Vegetables
I wanted a tasty way to eat spinach, so I decided to make a quiche. And to make it health all around I made it with tofu. I included a ton of vegetables that I had in the fridge too.Eliminate any excess water in both the tofu and the vegetables to prevent this from becoming watery. If you leave out the bacon and egg and use soy milk, this is good for vegetarians too. Both the bacon and cheese are salty, so go easy on the seasonings. You can decrease or increase the amount of vegetables. And of course, you could make it with a crust, too! Recipe by VitaminY -

Crustless Mushroom Quiche (low carb friendly) Crustless Mushroom Quiche (low carb friendly)
Anyone who knows my style of cooking knows I love making things on the fly and just seeing what comes out.I had a lot of mushrooms on hand and a wheel of gouda I needed to use up, so I began to wonder what it would be like to make a quiche out of these things.The earthy, umami flavor of shiitake mushrooms and woody, slightly smoky flavor of portobellos are enhanced by the thyme and complimented perfectly by the smoky, creamy gouda. The best part about this one is that I even made it crustless so, guess what? It's low carb diet friendly! Huzzah!

Crustless Asparagus & Bacon Quiche (low carb, lower fat, high protein) Crustless Asparagus & Bacon Quiche (low carb, lower fat, high protein)
This is a low carb lower fat quiche, made so by skipping the crust and replacing heavy cream with a blend of low fat cottage cheese and 1% milk.The focus of this dish is the asparagus so I intentionally used a light tasting cheese, mozzarella, to maintain the typical texture of a quiche but not mask the asparagus flavor.I also use roasted asparagus because that's my family's favorite, but you can cook yours any way you like.
