How To Make Keto Crustless Quiche
Step 1: Preheat & prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Step 2: Cook broccoli
Microwave broccoli florets with a bit of water until slightly tender. Drain and pat dry.
Step 3: Layer the quiche
Spread broccoli in the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle with half of the cheddar cheese.
Step 4: Combine wet ingredients
Whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the broccoli.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Top with remaining cheese. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips For Making The Best Quiche
- Use aged cheese: Use a sharp, aged cheddar cheese for the best flavor.
- Don’t overcook: Overbaking can result in a dry quiche. Start checking for doneness at 30 minutes.
- Let it rest: Allowing the quiche to rest for a few minutes before slicing helps it to set, making it easier to serve and eat.
Quiche Variations
- Meat Lovers: Add cooked bacon or ham for a heartier quiche.
- Veggie Delight: Incorporate spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a kick.
