This Sun Dried Tomato Goat Cheese Crustless Quiche couldn't be easier! And it doesn't require you to make/buy a crust but still has a crunchy exterior and I am OBSESSED.
If you've never made a crustless quiche before, let me be the first to welcome you to your new favorite way to make an egg bake. This custardy quiche is loaded with sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese and topped with some fresh greens to give it a bit of zip. There's no crust because that's how I roll. 1: I'm too lazy to make pie dough! And 2: I used some panko breadcrumbs to line the quiche for a crispy exterior with minimal effort. It's genius if you haven't tried it and I can guarantee you'll be obsessed!
Let's talk crustless quiche 101 quickly:
- Make sure you grease the dish well before sprinkling the panko so the quiche is easy to remove once baked.
- If you want to sub in other ingredients besides caramelized onions, be my guest! Just use equal measurements of another vegetable so the baking time isn't affected
- If you want to add crispy bacon or pancetta, about â…“ cup of crumbled bacon/pancetta is the perfect addition
- If you want to make this and freeze it - go for it! Quiches freeze well. Just bake it, let it cool. wrap it in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 3 months

Made this for a Sunday brunch and it was perfect. Super easy to put together, came out golden and puffy and everyone loved it.
I made this recipe for a bridal shower., and it was a hit. I made a few changes, because I used what I had on hand. I skipped the Panko crumbs because of.GF people. I used sun-dried tomatoes from a bag and they were fine. I doubled the recipe, And baked it in a 9 x 13 pan, and used a dozen eggs rather than the number suggested. I used feta cheese. Garnish it with fresh arugula. I will be eager to make it again using goat cheese.
Hi Gabby! Can I cook this in another vessel? Excited to make it Sunday!
any oven proof dish about 9 inches in diameter is great
What can be use in place of the tomatoes. Since it says to use the oil I was not sure if other vegetables (without oil) can be a substitute.
Thanks
Delicious! I didn’t have sun-dried tomatoes in oil, but used the ones in the bag. It was still delicious! My husband, who is not a huge fan of goat cheese, really liked it, too!
Can I assemble this today and bake it tomorrow?
just seeing this but yes!
Thank you! Made it today for Mother's day. Was a hit!
Made this for Easter. It was a hit. I made another one today because my daughter complained there wasn't
any leftover! She said, "don't change a thing it was perfection!". Thanks Gaby for another wonderful recipe!
Hi Gaby,
What cheese can I use other than goat cheese in this recipe?
Thanks, Judy
feta would be delish
