This crustless quiche is so wonderfully rich and cheesy.

Ditch The Crust

Without the crust, a quiche becomes an easy low carb recipe. Not using a crust cuts down on carbs and time needed to make the quiche. This recipe can be prepped in just about 10 minutes and then it needs approximately 30 minutes in the oven.

Substitutes

You can easily make substitutions to this recipe based on what you have on hand.

Bacon or sausage can be substituted for ham
Bell pepper or broccoli can be used instead of zucchini.
Monterey Jack or mozzarella can be used instead of Swiss cheese.
Use Colby Jack to replace both the cheddar and swiss.

How To Serve Crustless Quiche

I love to serve this crustless quiche with either fresh fruit or a garden salad with balsamic dressing.

Let Cool Before Slicing

Once the quiche has been baked, let it cool 10 minutes before slicing. It can be eaten warm, at room temperature, or cold.

How To Store Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche

Leftovers will keep for 3 to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator and can be reheated in the microwave.
