8 Crustless Caprese Quiche Recipe

This recipe is one that my family requests often. It’s a quiche with no crust which allows it to be a gluten-free, and is lower in carbs.

It’s also meatless and it will still leave you feeling full and satisfied. Whip this up and serve guests or your family this weeknight.

🍽️ Why This Recipe Works

Simple Ingredients – No tough, hard to find ingredients. It’s just a simple and delicious dish.

Vegetarian – If you or someone you know is vegetarian, this is a great recipe to make for any meal of the day.

Filling – It will easily fuel your body until your next meal.

🍅 Ingredients

The ingredients are so great together. Let’s discuss them in a little bit more detail.

Super Simple Ingredients

Eggs: Eggs are the main ingredient in most quiche recipes, and this one isn’t any different. We use eggs and egg whites for perfect results.

Seasonings and Herbs: The combination of fresh basil, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and ground pepper work beautifully together.

Mozzarella: Adding cheese is a must unless you are dairy-free. It’s so good, and it keeps you satisfied and coming back for more.

🍽️ Instructions

Simple Instructions for a Delicious Meal

Step One: Preheat your oven and spray a pie plate with nonstick spray then set aside. 

Step Two: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, and then add the additional egg whites slowly while mixing until they are frothy.  

Step Three: Add in the milk, butter, basil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.  Stir until well-combined, and pour into the pie plate. 

Step Four: Top with sliced tomatoes. Place a mozzarella pearl on each tomato slice. 

Step Five: Sprinkle additional basil or Italian seasoning over the top before popping into the oven to bake as directed. 

🍽️ Meal Prep And Storage

Don’t miss the opportunity to meal prep this one and even use the option of making it early and freezing it for a later lunch or emergency dinner when you don’t feel like cooking.

Store your quiche in the refrigerator if you don’t eat it all right away.   It also freezes extremely well!  

Freeze it either raw or cooked.  If freezing before cooking, place the prepared pie tin on a baking sheet and flash freeze for 2-3 hours. 

Remove, wrap well, label it, and place it on a shelf. Don’t put anything on top of it until it is frozen completely. Stack them in the freezer. 

If baking them first, allow it to cool completely before wrapping and freezing. I usually bake mine and then slice into individual servings. 

I freeze each serving separately so it is easy for me to grab a slice and reheat for a healthy breakfast. I love double checking the Freezer Tips and Storage Times printable to always make sure I know how long each dish will stay safe in the freezer.

Delicious and Gorgeous!

🍴 Should I Drizzle The Top with Balsamic Vinegar? 

While traditional caprese includes a vinegar drizzle, it may not be complementary to a quiche.  I recommend offering it to your guests by having the bottle on the table for them to drizzle if wanted.  

Personally, I think a small bit adds a robust flavor after it is cooked and served, but if you aren’t a big fan of the rich tartness of balsamic, it might be off putting. Offer, but don’t add to each serving.  

🥘 What Pan Should I Use 

Since this is crustless, you have options. Check this out! You can even divide it into two or three small pans (make sure to watch the cooking time if you do this!) and freeze part of it.

Think of holiday mornings or giving one to a friend that has had surgery or just needs a helping hand. You get a little and they get a little! 

You are not limited to using a pie pan for a crustless quiche. Use what you have. Don’t buy a special pan for this one unless you are needing (wink* wink*) a new one. 

Recipe FAQs

What is Caprese?

Traditional caprese includes mozzarella, tomato, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

For this recipe, I skip the vinegar, but include the rich creamy cheese, fresh basil, and of course, sliced tomatoes. 

Can This Have a Crust? 

Yes!  If you prefer a quiche with a crust and have no dietary restrictions, feel free to add one to the recipe.  Use any ready-made pie crust you prefer. I also have a great homemade pie crust recipe in this Spinach Tomato Quiche recipe if you prefer making homemade. 
Want individual portions?  Make them in muffin tins like this hash brown quiche recipe! That is perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast for those busy days.

  • Sprinkle with leftover basil and Italian seasoning. 
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown around edges.

Notes

Check about 20 minutes through to make sure the top is not getting too toasty. If it is, place a piece of foil over it so it doesn’t burn. 
Feel free to add a crust if you don’t want a crustless version. 
Make sure to watch the cook time so you don’t overcook your quiche. 
This is a freezer-friendly recipe. You can freeze your leftover Caprese quiche in the freezer for up to three months. If you choose to freeze the quiche for later, it can be done either raw or cooked.  If freezing before cooking, place the prepared pie tin on a baking sheet, and flash freeze for 2-3 hours or until it is frozen. Then remove and wrap well to label and place on a shelf. Don’t put anything on top of it until it is frozen completely. If you want to make a few of these stack them in the freezer. If baking them first, allow it to cool completely before wrapping and freezing. I usually bake mine and then slice into individual servings. I freeze each serving separately so it is easy for me to grab a slice and reheat for a healthy breakfast.
Leftovers need to be stored in the refrigerator.
