A light, low-carb, crustless asparagus quiche packed with protein, fresh veggies, and flavor—perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Crustless Asparagus Quiche

Hey friends — Gale here! The first time I made this crustless asparagus quiche, I swear my kitchen smelled like a cozy brunch spot. I felt so good about eating it—light, veggie-packed, high-protein breakfast energy without any of the heaviness from a crust. This recipe checks all the boxes: gluten-free quiche recipe, low-carb quiche, and packed with whole-food ingredients. Plus, leftovers turn into an easy lunch the next day and I don’t even have to pretend I’m “meal prepping”… it just happens.

With no crust to fuss over, the process is ridiculously simple. Fresh asparagus, sweet onion, juicy tomatoes, and feta (or whatever cheese you’re obsessed with) get folded into a fluffy, savory egg custard. It bakes up tender, flavorful, and slightly golden around the edges. Whether you call it an asparagus egg bake, vegetable quiche, or a healthy low-carb quiche recipe—this is one of those meals that feels indulgent but stays totally balanced.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s exactly what goes into this easy quiche:

  • 2 cups asparagus, sliced
  • 6 egg whites
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1/3 cup onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (or parmesan)
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Kosher or sea salt, to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Tip: Apple cider vinegar helps the eggs stay fluffy and light — perfect for that custard-style texture without heavy cream.

How to Make It (So Easy!)

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, then pour into a quiche pan or 9-inch glass pie dish.
  3. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is slightly golden.

That’s it. No crust to roll, chill, or blind bake. Just whisk, pour, bake, done.

Common Questions (Gale Answers!)

quiche loaded with veggies

How many calories and macros per slice?
Each slice is around 85 calories, roughly 8g protein, 4g of fat, and ~4g net carbs, depending on your cheese choice.

Can I make crustless asparagus quiche ahead of time?
Yes! It puffs up beautifully in the oven and settles slightly as it cools. Still tastes amazing. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

Can I make veggie swaps?
Totally. Try broccoli, spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers. Just chop everything small so it bakes evenly.

What about cheese swaps?
Go wild: parmesan for salty richness, chèvre for tang, or mozzarella if you like a melty vibe.

Does it freeze well?
Personally, I prefer it fresh, but you can freeze slices. Just thaw overnight and reheat gently.

When’s the best time to serve it?

I love it for brunch, lunch, or even a light dinner. Warm it up or enjoy it cold with a side salad.

  1. The recipe serves 8 and 1 slice is one serving. What would be the gram or ounce weight per serving. Thank you

    1. Aida, The serving size is listed. I don’t know the weight or grams of each serving..if that’s what you’re askimg.

  2. I just made it this morning , I used cherry tomatoes, one turkey slice and 2 sticks of mozzarella sticks , I don’t eat much cheese and can’t eat onions and no salt added! It was delicious!! Thank you!

  3. The information for this receipe states that one serving is 2 smart points but some of the posts state it is only one smart point. Can you confirm please. I have only started WW and am eager to get it right. Many thanks

    1. Great recipe! We did this as a dinner because of the asparagus and we loved it! Very light and feels healthy.5 stars

  4. Noeline, It would be 2 pts on the old point system, but with Freestyle it is 1 because of the cheese. Eggs are now free.

  5. Hi – I also just started weight watchers so have the same question as above – is one serving 2 pts or 1 pts since eggs are now free? From what it looks like, the only thing to count would be the 1/2 cup of cheese. Love Skinny Ms recipes, so helpful to us newbies!

  6. I made this quiche as a side dish for our early 4th of July family get-together. I used a whole tomato (with the seeds and jelly-like stuff removed) which was more than the 1/2 c. the recipe called for. I also used a red bermuda onion. I used 6 whole large eggs instead of 5 because I hadn’t read through all the comments before. I did have to cook it at least 5 minutes longer than called for (just kept checking until the center was set), but when it came out of the oven with the top lightly golden, it looked so colorful and pretty. And the taste exceeded my expectations. It was DELICIOUS! I will definitely make this again — for myself and for company.
