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 ⅓ 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

Can I make this using a regular crust? Do I need to adjust the cooking time/Temperature?
you sure can!! Should be similar timing
I don't care for goat cheese. What cheese would be a good substitute?
really any kind of cheese would work - chunks of cheddar, feta, pepperjack, monterey jack, brie, fontina, havarti!!
Yummy! I added a little mozzarella and leftover chopped, cooked steak to the mixture. Delicious flavor combination!
Quick and easy to make, with most of the ingredients pantry staples. The smell of it cooking lured the teenagers into the kitchen, suffice to say there were no left overs. We eat quiche quite regularly, and all family members agreed that this quiche was definitely a level above our standard fare.
So easy and so good! We just had this for Easter and loved it!
Yum! Is whole milk necessary? We have 1% at home.
that's fine!!
Can’t wait to try this! One question....How do I reheat it if I freeze it overnight?
I would let it come to room temp after freezing and then warm in the oven
Looks delish! But I really dislike sun dried tomatoes - can i use fresh? or something else in place?
absolutely! roasted red bell peppers!
If I don’t have Panko can I use regular bread crumbs??
you sure can!!
Do you think coconut milk would work?
haven't ever thought of that! it would def change the flavor profile but it would be good!
If you don't have heavy cream, can you just use all milk?
yes!
Gaby, can you use a non-dairy milk or 2% if you don’t have whole milk? Thanks! Looks yummy!!
yes! I do all the time
Dang! I only have 3 eggs. I have all the other ingredients though... do you think this could still work?
yup - quiches are always forgiving! I say go for it
This sounds like it will make a delicious quarantine Easter dish. I fortunately have all the ingredients - so something to get really excited about!!!
Looks yummy! If you don’t have a quiche pan, would a shallow pie plate work?
absolutely
