Breakfast for dinner anyone? This crustless quiche is the perfect meal for four when paired with a tasty side salad. It’s really healthy, super simple to make, and is an excellent choice for those of you with food sensitivities.
It is free of gluten and grains, can easily be made dairy free AND it’s vegetarian! You will not miss the crust, I promise! As long as you grease your dish well, you should not have a problem getting your slices out of the pan in one piece.
If you are Paleo or on the Whole30 diet, this is also perfect for you because it is suitable to both, simply by omitting the cheese on top. You won’t even miss the cheese because this quiche is already great without it!
Now onto the best part – the secret ingredient in this quiche that makes it so incredibly fluffy and moist is coconut milk! Most recipes call for regular milk which is denser and thicker. This quiche has a lighter texture to it that makes it so enjoyable to chow down on.
Not to mention that coconut milk is much healthier for you than regular milk 😉 I would recommend going with the full-fat coconut milk since that is what I used. I have not tested it with the reduced-fat coconut milk.
I hope you all enjoy this delicious crustless quiche, it’s super tasty and really delicious!
Oh! I almost forgot to mention that this makes fantastic leftovers for breakfast. Enjoy! 🙂

Hi Dana,
This quiche is great! It never occurred to me to use so much coconut milk in proportion to the eggs, but that was the answer to fluffy vs. rubber!! I actually used your base with bacon, spinach and onions, and added some Thai red curry and nutritional yeast (in place of cheese) to the egg mixture, it was fluffy, moist and very flavorful. Didn’t miss the crust at all! Thank you so much, so happy to add this to my keto recipe file 🙂

Hi Susie, so glad this recipe worked out for you! I love how fluffy it is as well, and the bacon, spinach and onion combination sounds delicious! Hope you enjoy it over and over in the future!!
Five star! Awesome recipe. Its light and gluffy and not coconutty like you might expect. I bake it in a lightly pre-baked gf crust for my df gf husband.
So glad you and your husband enjoyed it, Joanne!
This is the best crustless quiche recipe I have come across. The coconut made it incredibly fluffy and the taste was subtle and delicious. This is my new go to for holiday breakfasts. Well, anytime really.
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed it, Leslie! It’s one of my favorites too 🙂
