I love making quiche. It’s a comforting way to start the day, and it’s so versatile that you can make it with just about any ingredients you have on hand. It’s one of my favorite baked egg dishes.

Normally, quiche like quiche lorraine and other flavors have a pie type crust on the bottom, but what if you need a gluten free quiche? I have just the recipe for you. This is an easy gluten free, crust free breakfast.

What I like about this breakfast is that you can make it ahead of time, and it reheats beautifully. I didn’t think anything with an egg mixture would reheat well, but this really does.

What size pie dish should I use?

I used a 9 inch pie dish for this. Obviously, you can use a larger or smaller one, but watch your baking times. You can also make mini quiches by using a muffin tin to bake this.

This quiche will work just as well without cheese, or with a dairy free cheese substitute, if you’d like.

  • Reheat in oven by placing on oven safe plate and heating for 10- 15 minutes at 350.

Is this crustless quiche keto?

This recipe has about 4 net grams carbs per serving, which can fit into your low carb or keto diet. I make a double batch as part of my weekend prep, and we have a heart, protein filled, low carb breakfast for the week.

For a paleo option, you can leave out the cheese.
