Enjoy the flavors of your favorite veggies in this savory Crustless Veggie Quiche. It’s the most fun, simple and flavorful way to use up all the leftover veggies. A quick, no-fuss delicious breakfast for the entire family!
Sunday mornings is our complete relax time. It’s usually dedicated to long sleep-ins, morning walks followed by a leisurely breakfast. And if it’s raining, it adds all the more charm – calls for something warm and fresh with a cup of hot coffee or tea.
I have the perfect recipe for a rainy day like today – a hearty and savory crustless veggie quiche, right out of the oven!
Crustless veggie quiche is not an average breakfast recipe, it’s great for weekend brunches and can be taken with you to work or to picnics and potlucks. Simply serve with chutney on the side, and I can assure you that everyone will love it!
What is a Quiche?
A quiche is a baked dish or tart made with a savory filling and thickened with eggs. For my little one who is allergic to eggs, I decided to make a quiche without eggs. Trust me; it tastes delicious!
How to make a Crustless Veggie Quiche recipe?
This crustless veggie quiche is quite simple and easy to make. All you have to do is mix the ingredients, top with veggies and bake. It’s THAT easy.
The base for this quiche is made with semolina, yogurt, baking soda, and baking powder. All these ingredients hold the quiche shape perfectly.

Recipe Notes Substitutes! - I have used dairy-free yogurt for this recipe, but feel free to sub it with regular yogurt. - Please use store-bought thick yogurt for this recipe. If planning to use homemade yogurt, strain through a cloth and use the thick portion. - Add water slowly. The batter should be of a thick pouring consistency. To begin with, add 3/4 cup of water. Make ahead recipe! - This quiche can be made the night before and reheated in the morning in the microwave. - A 40-second reheat in the microwave and a delicious breakfast is ready to be devoured! |

Fareeda says
How many teaspoons of salt did you use? I know the recipe states salt to taste.
Thanks, I am planning to make this quiche this weekend.
Thanks.
Ruchi says
Fareeda, you can go ahead and add 1.5 teaspoons of salt, taste the mixture and if needed add another 1/2 teaspoon to it.
But again it’s entirely up to one’s taste.

Hey I tried it baked for 25 min .. but it did not get cooked .. it was raw from inside .. what may I have done wrong
Ruchi says
How much water did you add? Too much of water may result in under-cooked quiche.
