Keto Crustless Quiche
Brunch is an amazing meal, isn’t it? It’s an opportunity to relax over a meal, enjoy breakfast foods with a variety of no-breakfast items as well, and a slower pace.
Yet, typical brunch foods are NOT low-carb or keto-friendly. They are heavy, filled with carbs and sugars, and rarely a vegetable in sight. Sugary syrups, fruits, and all forms of bread and pastries leave those of us trying to cut carbs desperate for something to fill our plates with.
Enter the keto crustless quiche and a keto quiche recipe that works. We didn’t sacrifice any of the flavor or texture by skipping the traditional pastry crust, but we did seriously reduce the carb-count. What’s left, is a mix of meats, veggies, and cheeses that are tasty, flavorful, and a dish that is easy to whip up.
Why This Recipe Works
- With a base of eggs, and a filling of meats, veggies, and cheese, this quiche is seriously filling. Even your non-low-carb friends will enjoy this one.
- Perfect for a group brunch as it’s low-carb, keto, and gluten-free.
- Make the night before and simply warm up in the morning for a no-hassle brunch dish.
- Follow this recipe exactly, or experiment with a variety of meats, veggies, and cheeses.
Is Quiche Keto?
That’s the big question right – is quiche keto?
In a word: yes. As long as you are making a crustless quiche and watching for hidden carbs in the items you are adding you can make a keto quiche. To keep your carb count low, be sure to stick to a filling of eggs, protein, cheese, and naturally low-carb veggies. Watch for hidden sugars in your protein choices, such as maple flavored bacon or sausage. And be sure to read the label on your cheese selection.
This recipe yields just 4 net carbs per serving. So if you want to be sure you quiche is low-carb, start with this. Once you are more comfortable feel free to swap out the ham for sausage or bacon or the broccoli for spinach. The options are truly endless when it comes to pairings for your keto quiche.
Ingredients for Keto Broccoli Quiche
Your keto breakfast quiche does need some prep-work but trust me, it’s worth it! Chop your ham, dice your onions, and cut up your broccoli before preheating your pan. You are also going to want to shred your cheese before getting started as well because this whole recipe will come together pretty quickly.
Keto Quiche Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cups ham, chopped
- ½ cup sweet onion, diced
- 2 cups broccoli, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or 3 cheese blend)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
How to Make Keto Quiche
While you are chopping, dicing, and slicing, get your oven preheating to 400F. Grease a 9″ pan as well (I prefer round, but you could use square).
Over medium heat, warm a medium-sized skillet and melt your butter.
Add in your onion and saute it in the melted butter until the onions are nice and soft. This will take about 6-7 minutes.
Add the chopped broccoli florets to the bottom of your prepared pan. Then add the onion and ham mixture on top of that.
Sprinkle with one cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Mix the eggs and whipping cream together in a small bowl and pour over the top of the vegetable/cheese mixture.
Bake the keto quiche on the middle rack in the center of the oven for 30-35 minutes until the eggs are set.
Slice and serve! One quiche makes 8 traditional-sized servings.
Low Carb Crustless Quiche Recipe Tips
- Be sure you grease your pan to prevent the eggs from sticking during baking.
- While it may be tempting to skip the heavy whipping cream, this addition helps your eggs to be light and fluffy in the final product.
- This dish is good served both hot or cold.
- Adapt to your family’s preferences by changing out meat, cheese, or vegetables.
- Top with additional cheese or an optional herb garnish.
