How to make crustless quiche with broccoli and cheese

Preheat your oven to 180°C / 160°C fan oven / 355°F.

Finely chop the red onion, and cut the broccoli into small, bite sized florets. Spray a frying pan with one calorie cooking spray, and add saute the onion and broccoli until the onion has softened and the broccoli is cooked halfway through, about 5-6 minutes.

Combine eggs, green yogurt, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until it’s a combined and fluffy mixture. Add shredded cheddar cheese.

Spray a quiche tin with some one calorie cooking spray, and add the sauteed broccoli and red onions. Pour over the egg and cheese mixture, and use a spatula or spoon to distribute it evenly. Cook the crustless broccoli quiche in the oven for about 30-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top of the quiche is slightly golden.

What is a crustless quiche?

Crustless quiche is like a quiche without the pastry crust. It’s similar to a frittata, only it’s completely baked in the oven without being started on a stove top. It’s a low calorie and diet friendly dish that’s very easy to adapt. Since we remove the crust, this quiche recipe is also gluten free, low carb and keto friendly.
