Crustless Quiche
Crustless Quiche
This is a base recipe with many options to make it your own or use what you have on hand. Sounds good, and no crust to worry about preparing is a bonus. Made this in 3 Sep 2018, and this is a winner! Recipe now reflects my findings. Links to the Shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
For the Base
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups cheese, shredded, your choice
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups Optional Ingredients, 1 item 2 cups, 2 items 1 cup each, etc.
Optional Ingredients
- ham, cubed
- bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
- breakfast sausage, (Shortcut)
- Italian sausage, (Shortcut)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F). Grease a pie dish or 8x8 baking dish with butter.
- If using any ingredients that require sauteing, go ahead and do that now.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, flour, eggs, cheese, and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Here the cheese is shredded (I used 225 grams / 8 oz of Moneterey Jack), and the fillings which are just over a cup of diced ham, then 2 spring onions chopped, and 2 plum tomatoes chopped, right at or just above 2 cups for the filling.
- Mix in the Optional Ingredients of your choice.
- Pour into the prepared baking dish of your choice and bake for 45-60 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Fresh out of the oven, let this rest for about 5 minutes.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy.
Notes
The cheese is the high cost item here, figure about 180 Baht for that. The package of ham was about 80 Baht. But on the plus side this makes a lot of servings. For 8 servings, this is about 98 cents per serving.

I enjoyed this one very much. I added broken crisp bacon, shitake mushrooms, onions, broken up pieces of breakfast sausage, spinach, and for the cheese I used a variety called 4 cheese melt which I believe is cheddar, mozzarella primarily. It all fits very nicely into my low carb diet.
Thanks for the review, Kurt and good to hear this was well liked. Great sounding combination on the filling as well 🙂
I made this on 3 Sep 2018, cheese used this time was Monterey Jack, and filling was ham, spring onion, and tomato. I did increase the filling amount from 1 cup to 2 cups, which is now perfect. Excellent dish that comes together fast and is delicious! The family really likes this one. Highly recommended.
