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.
