Crustless Ketogenic Egg Fast Cheese Quiche (2024)

Get ready for an easy keto-friendly egg quiche recipe to prepare on the weekends. It's a crustless cheesy dish that can be used for a week's worth of breakfast.

Keto meal prep is a fantastic way to save time during busy weeks, especially during the school year. If you spend time during the weekend making an egg and cheese crustless quiche, you can use it for quick home cooked meals early in the week.

Quiche is a meal that works well for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, although its versatility is just one of the many reasons to love it.

Honestly, this is my favorite quiche recipe ever! It's one of the best easy meals to make, especially since there's no keto pie crust to make.

Why you'll love it

The key to this low-carb quiche recipe is that the eggs pack it full of protein. When you add the cheese, you are giving yourself a low-carb and high-protein meal.

The cream cheese gives the quiche the perfect texture and increases the fat content too. So, if you need to eat more fat to stay in ketosis, this is a great recipe to use!

Ingredients

This recipe is naturally low in carbs, especially since this easy quiche recipe doesn't have any kind of crust. The ingredients needed to make the quiche filling are pretty simple.

Cheddar Cheese

The cheese will make for a creamy quiche so use shredded because it melts easier. If you don't have cheddar, you can use Colby jack or Swiss cheese.

Eggs

These bind the other ingredients in the quiche together. Without the eggs, the casserole will just fall apart.

Cream Cheese

I always recommend full-fat cream cheese on the keto diet. It will give your body the natural fats that it needs to stay in fat-burning mode.

Butter

Since you are already using salt, add unsalted butter.

Spices

Use your favorite seasoning combinations to flavor the egg and cheese quiche. I just used salt and pepper.

Please note:Check out the recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients used to make this low-carb recipe.

Quick tips

• Grate cheese at home. It's best to grate the shredded cheese yourself because pre-shredded contains anti-caking powder that can be high in carbs. I use a food processor, but a box or hand grater will do.
• Use a food processor to blend up the egg mix too. If you don't have a food processor, you can just use a blender or hand mixer to make the quiche filling
• Use less butter. If you aren't egg-fasting, you may want to reduce the amount of butter to at least half.

Instructions

This easy quiche recipe is as simple as mixing all the ingredients together, putting them in a dish, and baking it. Here is how you do it!

Place Cheese In Pie Plate

Put all but ½ a cup of the cheddar cheese at the bottom of the pie dish. Any size pan will work, even a cast iron skillet, but I used a 9.5-inch deep pan.

Process Eggs And Cream Cheese

Use a food processor or blender to mix the filling ingredients. You can also beat eggs by hand in a large bowl and add in the cheese.

Slowly add the melted butter.

Add Egg Mixture To Pie Pan

Pour egg mixture on top of the cheese in the pie dish. Sprinkle the rest of the grated cheese on top.

Bake

Preheat oven to 325F. Bake quiche for about 45 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool before you slice into it and serve warm.

Now you have the perfect quiche!

️ Serving Suggestions

I like to enjoy this easy quiche recipe for breakfast or brunch, so serve your favorite keto breakfast recipes along with it!

You can never go wrong with a few bacon slices on the side (you can cook up a whole batch in the oven).

Keto pumpkin chia pudding is a great pairing for your quiche. It's creamy and full of healthy fats that will keep you in ketosis.

Or, make some low-carb rainbow pancakes to add some lovely pops of color to your breakfast table.

If you are serving egg quiche for a brunch, then make some keto cinnamon rolls with fathead dough. Everyone will love them!

Variations

My low-carb quiche is made to be egg fast friendly, so you won't need to add anything to it. It has the perfect ratio of eggs, fat, and cheese.

Honestly, I like the simplicity of a basic egg and cheese quiche, but there are tons of different flavor combinations you can do.

A family favorite is quiche lorraine which has diced ham or bacon, diced onion, and swiss cheese. So delicious!

For a keto-friendly quiche, the best options are pre-cooked meats and fresh cheeses. That being said, here are some delicious options for your crustless quiche:

• Meats - Cubed ham, sausage, chorizo, pepperoni, and chicken are all delicious in quiche! Just make sure to use pre-cooked meats.
• Low Carb Veggies - Good choices for low carb vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, green onion, and zucchini. My favorite variation is to turn it into a spinach mushroom quiche.
• Cheese - When it comes to cheese, the sky is the limit! Use as much of your favorite cheese as you wish. I use an entire 8 ounce block of cheddar cheese in this crustless quiche recipe!

Reheating instructions

If you want to reheat an entire quiche, the best way to do so is in an oven. For a frozen crustless quiche, place it into your refrigerator and be sure that it is completely thawed before reheating.

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2. If you are reheating the quiche in the pan you baked it in, just place the pan onto a cookie sheet.
3. Cover the quiche lightly with aluminum foil. This will prevent the quiche from burning.
4. Heat the quiche at 350° F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165° F.
