How to Make Crustless Cheesy Ham Quiche

First, let’s gather the ingredients you’ll need.

This quiche recipe is a base recipe, so you can swap out any of these filling options for the flavors and ingredients you like best.

Eggs – you’ll need some whole eggs!

Cheese – I love using aged white cheddar in this recipe, but gruyere cheese, swiss cheese, or even sharp cheddar cheese would be lovely in this crustless version of a classic quiche recipe.

It’s best to hand-grate the cheddar! I love this counter-top grater!

Ham – Choose a protein you love, and use it. I prefer to use Rosemary Ham (the sliced one from Costco!) and chop it up into fine bits myself. You could use leftover ham if you have any, too! Bacon would be delicious. Or, leave it out and enjoy a cheese-crustless quiche.

Heavy Cream – You’ll mix equal parts milk and heavy cream together. This is what gives it the full, silky flavor you want.

Milk – I used regular 2% milk for my other part of the milk options. Mixed equal parts of the heavy cream and the milk, it creates the perfect consistency and the best results in my opinion.

Other ingredients you’ll need are kosher salt and black pepper, and if you’d like, you can add sliced green onions. I didn’t have any when I made this, so I left them out. But, the green onion flavor definitely adds a delicious addition.

In a large mixing bowl, you’ll whisk the eggs with the heavy cream and milk. Whisk until they’re light and fluffy.

Then, grate the cheese.

Add most of the grated cheese to the egg mixture. Leave a little cheese for the top of the quiche.

To the bottom of your baking dish, you’ll add the chopped-up ham. The chopped ham tends to get lost in the eggs and bunched up, but it probably doesn’t matter either way.

When you pour the egg mixture over the chopped ham, the ham will move a little all the baking dish.

Give the baking dish a jiggle to redistribute the ham and cheese, and get everything arranged.

Top the quiche with the extra cheese, and pop it into the oven!

Baking a Delicious Crustless Ham Quiche

You’ll bake this in a 350-degree oven until the very center jiggles slightly.

I haven’t tried it, but next time I make this easy recipe, I’ll bake the easy keto quiche in a water bath.

The top of the quiche gets golden brown and puffs up really high.

Once you remove the dish from the oven, and let it sit for a few minutes, it will come down.

Let the low-carb quiche rest for 5-8 minutes before slicing into it, so everything can settle and not run out.

Serving this Easy Meal

If you’re brunch, add a fruit salad to your menu and some of the Best Biscuits, Ever! This is an easy way to create a magical mealtime for sure!

Pro tip: Mix up the egg mixture with the cheese, and store in a covered jug the night before. Have your chopped ham ready for the baking dish, then pour everything in when you’re an hour from serving brunch. It takes very little time, and the end results are phenomenal!

Say you want to serve this for a luncheon. I suggest serving a light green salad alongside the quiche. A bowl of fresh fruit for people to serve themselves always looks lovely and inviting, too.

However you serve this meal, it’s sure to become a family favorite.

If you want to meal prep for the week, this is a great way to make your breakfast option. You can pour the egg mixture into muffin cups and bake inside those. Then, you’ve got individual portions, ready when you are!
