A simple and delicious crustless cheese quiche that combines eggs and a blend of cheeses for a creamy, savory dish perfect for breakfast or brunch. This easy recipe omits the crust for a lighter option, baking to a fluffy, cheesy perfection in just 45 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup half and half
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/3 tsp black pepper

Cheese

  • 2/3 cup grated cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella)
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the quiche.
  2. Whisk Eggs and Dairy: In a large bowl, crack 8 large eggs. Add 3/4 cup whole milk and 1/4 cup half and half. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients thoroughly until combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Combine Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in 2/3 cup grated cheese (your choice of cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella), 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 teaspoon black pepper into the egg mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
  4. Prepare the Baking Pan: Butter a 9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking. Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake the Quiche: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the center is fully set and a knife inserted comes out clean. The quiche should be slightly golden on top.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cheese with your favorite types such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack for different flavors.
  • Adding vegetables like spinach or mushrooms before baking can enhance the quiche.
  • Ensure the quiche is fully set before removing from oven to prevent a runny center.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free due to the absence of the crust.
  • Use fresh eggs for best texture and flavor.
