These numbered steps match the numbered photos above and are for illustration purposes. For the complete list of ingredients and instructions, please see the recipe below.

KETO QUICHE RECIPE TIPS

• Use the right amount of add ins. Be sure that you aren't adding more than about 1 ½ cups of meats and vegetables. Any more than that and you'll overflow the pie pan.
• Pre-Cook Vegetables and Meats. Things mixed into the egg mixture won't cook, so be sure that everyone is cooked before you add it in.
• Try Roasting the Veggies. If you're adding broccoli, onions, or bell peppers, roast them in the oven to get caramelized and flavorful.
• Allow quiche to cool before slicing. Give the keto quiche time to fully set after you remove it from the oven. 10-20 minutes of rest should be perfect.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN QUICHE IS DONE?

You can check your quiche for doneness at the end of the recommended cooking time. Crustless quiche is done when the edges are golden and puffy and the center is cooked through without any visible liquid.

Feel free to poke the center with a small knife to check on it. Alternately, use a thermometer to ensure that the center of the quiche is between 165°F and 185°F (74°C and 85°C). That's going to be the most scientific way to know that it's done cooking.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I OVERCOOK KETO QUICHE?

Overcooked quiche is still edible, but the texture may be off. Overcooking will generally dry out the edges of the quiche.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CRUSTLESS QUICHE AND FRITTATA?

While both of these dishes are scrambled egg based, the difference is in the cooking method. While crustless quiche is baked in a pie pan in the oven, a frittata is generally cooked on the stovetop in a frying pan.

Frittata is also usually less creamy than quiche as it includes less cream or milk, plus it is cooked more quickly, so the texture is firm.

On the other hand, Quiche is more of a custard, and is cooked slowly in the oven, giving it a creamy, soft texture.

CAN YOU FREEZE A CRUSTLESS QUICHE?

Yes, you can freeze this recipe for Keto Quiche. After baking, allow the quiche to cool completely.

Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and then place in an air tight bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.

To re-heat from frozen, bake in a 350F oven for 20-30 minutes or until heated through.

THE BEST KETO QUICHE ADD-INS

You can add anything you like into this Keto Quiche recipe, just make sure that the total amount of ingredients added is 1 ½ cups. Here are some keto-friendly ideas for quiche mix-ins:

• Cooked ham, bacon, or sausage.
• Fresh greens such as spinach, kale, or swiss chard (they will cook during baking).
• Roasted or sautéed vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms, peppers, asparagus, zucchini, or brussels sprouts.
• Fresh Herbs such as parsley, cilantro, rosemary, or thyme.

You can use other recipes as inspiration for your Keto quiche creations. This Bacon and Zucchini quiche recipe has me thinking about making it without the crust.

HOW TO MAKE KETO QUICHE LORRAINE?

IS QUICHE GOOD COLD?

I actually really enjoy eating this keto quiche cold, usually with a fresh green salad. It's the perfect high protein low carb lunch.

The traditional way to eat quiche is warm though, either shortly after removing it from the oven or reheated.

IS DIJON MUSTARD KETO?

Mustard in general is a great keto friendly condiment, because it rarely has an added sugar. Dijon mustard has low net carbs (generally under 2g per serving), so it's a great flavor booster for a low carb diet.

STORING AND REHEATING KETO QUICHE

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To reheat slices of keto quiche, use the microwave, air fryer, or oven to gently heat to your desired temperature. Avoid reheating too much, as you may overcook the quiche.

• Microwave at 50% power for 1-3 minutes
• Air Fry at 300°F/150°C for 4-8 minutes
• Bake in a preheated 350°F/177°C oven for 10-15 minutes

To reheat an entire cooked keto quiche, Use the oven method. Cover the quiche with foil and bake in a 350°F/177°C oven for 20 minutes.
