WHAT IS QUICHE
If you are new to quiche, no worries. Not everyone grows up eating quiche.
Quiche is a baked breakfast dish that has a primary ingredient of eggs. It forms a custard-like mixture and is typically in a pie crust of some kind. There is typically a dairy in the mixture like cream or milk.
There are unlimited variations and add-ins for quiche. You can add in different meats, vegetables, spices, etc.
WHY MAKE A CRUSTLESS QUICHE?
A crustless quiche has the same type of filling as a regular quiche. The main difference is that you are skipping the crust completely.
This saves quite a few calories and carbs. It is great for people on a healthy eating plan or who are watching their carb intake.
I admit that I do love the crust of a quiche, but my waist line doesn't love those extra calories!!
TIPS FOR A GREAT QUICHE
Quiche are very easy to make, but there are some steps you can take to make your quiche fool-proof.
Here are some tips for a great quiche every time:
- The biggest complaint about crustless quiche is that they may stick to the pie pan. This is easy to remedy by greasing the pan with nonstick spray or with butter.
- If your quiche comes out “runny” you may be adding too much dairy and not enough eggs. Try to add an extra egg next time.
- Be patient when the crustless corn quiche comes out of the oven. Let it sit for 10-20 minutes and the results will be worth it.
- Really whisk the egg mixture before adding to the pan. It will help the consistency of the quiche.
- Don't try to eat quiche cold. It is not nearly as good cold. Warm-up leftovers in the microwave or in the oven.
SUBSTITUTIONS FOR CRUSTLESS CORN QUICHE
This recipe for crustless corn quiche is very easy to modify for your family's likes and dislikes. I love corn and used it as a main ingredient. This is totally up to you.
The key to substitutions for quiche is that you need to keep the total amounts of “add-ins” the same.
You could easily substitute the can of corn for another veggie. Just keep the amounts the same.
The meat can be changed to ham or cooked sausage. Change the type of cheese you use. Get creative!

HOW TO MAKE CRUSTLESS CORN QUICHE
If you can use a whisk then you can whip up a crustless corn quiche. This is a great recipe for kids to help with too.
STEP ONE: WHISK INGREDIENTS
Start off by preheating the oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl, add the eggs and whisk them vigorously. Add in the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
Be sure to drain the corn and Ro-Tel well so the quiche isn't watery.
STEP TWO: PREPARE PANS
Grease 2 deep dish baking pans. You can use non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Pour 1/2 of the egg mixture into each pie pan.
I like to place the pie pans on baking sheets to prevent any mess in the oven, but that is optional.
STEP THREE: BAKE
Place the pie pans in the oven and bake for 35 to 50 minutes. I know this is a big stretch of time, but it really can vary based on what kind of pan you use and what ingredients you end up putting into the quiche.
I like to check my quiche at the 35-minute mark. Stick a toothpick into the center and see if it comes out clean. If it does come out clean then the quiche is done. If not add 5 minutes and check again. Repeat as needed.
Remove the pans from the oven and let sit for 10-20 minutes before cutting.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
If you only want to make one quiche…just half the ingredients!
