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.

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
How much water did you add? Too much of water may result in under-cooked quiche.
Superb recipe. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome. 🙂
Nice recipe, quick and easy! It was a perfect breakfast. I also added some frozen broccoli and spinach. Loved it. Thanks for sharing!!
Pleasure is all mine. Glad you liked. 🙂

Gorgeous quiche! Love the colorful veggies! What a creative way to make it egg-free, too! And, I just have to tell you that I love your rainbow whisk and I need to get one! 🙂
Thanks, Sherri!
That whisk is a very old one. 🙂
Crustless is great for our gluten free friends – gonna do this for our next brunch!
Crustless is indeed great but this one is not Gluten-free, Leslie. It has Semolina.
I love semolina baked quiches. My aunt used to make something similar every time she invited us for meals. She was allergic to eggs too. This look so good. I love how simple and easy this is. Love how pretty you decorated th quiche too.
Thanks, Veena!

I’ve never heard of a crustless quiche but I love the idea of it! Who needs a big ol’ carb-filled crust, anyway?
Once you give a try, you will love it and is so easy to make.
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.
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.
