A colorful crustless creation even your waistline will love
Eggs are a fantastic option for breakfast or brunch because they are such a terrific source of protein. Unfortunately, finding creative ways to prepare eggs can be a challenge. Quiche is a great option for adding variety and flavor to your morning serving of eggs, but the crust can be loaded with saturated fat and calories. Luckily, it is possible to enjoy a crustless vegetable quiche recipe that tastes great without the excess fat!
The other thing I love about this crustless vegetable quiche is how easy it is to make. You don’t have to worry about pre-baking the crust because there isn’t any. All it takes is about 15 minutes of prep. Then, you just pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and bake it until it’s golden brown and delicious. It doesn’t get easier than that! That makes this a no-fuss way to cook eggs, and it’s also a great way to feed a crowd, too.
Quiche is Packed Full of Nutrition
Our delicious vegetable quiche is packed with vitamins, nutrients, and flavor. It is a good source of protein, which will fill you up and keep you feeling full all morning long. It’s also rich in vitamin A for healthy skin and vitamin C to keep your immune system boosted. As if that wasn’t enough, all the vegetables in this crustless vegetable quiche bring along additional nutrients, like riboflavin, calcium, phosphorus, and metabolism-boosting selenium.
All you need is one slice of this crustless vegetable quiche to get a full serving of vegetables – all before the sun comes up! But don’t think that you have to eat this quick for your morning meal, either. It’s hearty enough to be eaten for dinner (especially when served with a side salad). The leftovers are pretty fantastic when you take them to work for lunch the next day, so don’t worry if you can’t eat the entire quiche in one sitting.
The Best Way To Serve Crustless Vegetable Quiche
As we said earlier, in addition to being tasty and nutritious, our crustless vegetable quiche is super easy to make – and it’s also a one-pan meal, so clean-up is a breeze! If you like, you can make it ahead and heat it up for a quick grab-and-go breakfast all week long. Or, it’s perfect if you have big plans for entertaining a large group of people. The quiche is delicious by itself, but sometimes we like to switch things up. Serve it with a side of whole grain toast, a fresh fruit salad, or beside a bed of dark, leafy greens.

Crustless Vegetable Quiche
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion small, diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper diced
- 1/2 cup zucchini sliced
- 6 broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes diced
- 3 eggs large
- 4 egg whites large
- 2 tablespoons milk low-fat
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- sea salt to taste
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese low-fat, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a large skillet on medium-low heat, add oil and sauté onion and garlic until tender, about 4 minutes. Add diced bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli, and sun-dried tomatoes and continue sautéing for 2 minutes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, spices, and ¼ cup parmesan cheese. Lightly spray a 9 inch pie dish, add sautéed vegetables. Pour egg mixture over vegetables, make sure to cover all veggies.
- Loosely cover with foil and bake 10 minutes at 425 degrees, reduce heat to 350 and continue baking 20-25 minutes. Remove foil the last few minutes of baking time and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese. Quiche is done when it puffs and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

looks like great site…
Had this last night. It was FANTASTIC. I will definitely make it again.
Jill, GREAT! Thanks for the feedback. 🙂
Great! Thank you.
I made this over the holiday weekend – everyone really enjoyed it!! I did cook in the skillet instead of using the oven as it was a hot morning already – this is going in my rotation!!
This is my favorite…it can be breakfast, lunch OR dinner!!! Gotta love it!
I do these on Sunday morning in muffin tins and store in a gallon zip bag in fridge for an easy breakfast for the week.

I make basically the same thing but it's called a frittata. I saute assorted veggies with garlic and seasonings then pour eggs over the top. Let it cook thru on stove top on low and finish the top under broiler. Then add some cheese on top if you like. It's much faster than this recipe. Also it's in one pan. I don't use any milk in the eggs.
This recipe was phenomenal! Has anyone ever tried to freeze this? I would love to make extra, and I think it would work.
Would it be possible to make this vegan? Can it be made with some sort of egg substitute and omit the cheese?
Job, Yes exactly. Use a vegan egg substitute for equal measure and don't use the cheese.
Someone just posted this on my Weight Watchers Facebook page. Looks amazing and I can't wait to try it!
This was delicious! I will definitely make it again and share your link with my friends and family. Thank you!
Do we need to make all these or can we mix and use only some as long as they remain breakfast,lunch and dinner meals?
Claudia, Yes, you can easily enjoy for other meals.
I’m curious if there is a way to make it with all whole eggs, no whites. I hate throwing out the yokes but don’t want to ruin the recipe.
Emily, Yes, use 3 large whole eggs and omit the whites. 🙂
Its been a couple of years since you posted this but I bought Egg Beaters Egg Whites and used that for my egg whites. Used regular eggs for the 3 whole eggs.
Serves 6 with a total of 41 smart points so that makes 7 sp per portion, right??
Patricia, Slice the quiche into 6 equal pieces and each slice equals 4 smartpoints.
This is an awesome recipe any time of year … but especially summer/garden time .. any abundance of vegies in the garden are acceptable in this dish!!
Thanks, Tammy! We love recipes that use garden veggies!
Do you have to soak the sundried tomatoes or do they reconstitute in the quiche?
Uma, Soak just to soften up slightly or use the jar variety.
The recipe looks good but you should not suggest low fat dairy. it is unhealthful. Full fat dairy should be the only choice.
Debra, Point well taken. 🙂
Will eggsbe burnt on bottom? I do not like overcooked scrambled eggs. If i wanted to add potatoes do i bake em or parboil or saute along with veggies?
Amelia, The quiche was not burned on the bottom. Yes, I recommend adding diced potatoes along with the veggies.
I thought these were 2 points each on WW blue ????? Please correct me if I’m wrong . This recipe looks delicious.
Hi Sue, Our recipes have not been converted to WW blue…etc.. We hope to have this done over the coming weeks. Thank you for your patience.
I will look forward to getting the recipe so I can try this! It looks delicious!
