This quiche, adapted from my Mother-in-Law’s recipe for Bisquick Crustless Broccoli Cheddar and Ham Quiche, is my go-to recipe for company. It’s kind of like Bisquick’s famous “impossible cheeseburger pie” from the back of the box, but a broccoli quiche version instead. It’s so easy and simple, takes 10 minutes to prepare, comes out beautiful every time. It can be served warm or at room temperature, so it can be made well before any guests wake up or arrive, making hosting much less stressful.
What is a crustless quiche?
Crustless quiche is the way to go, if you ask me. It’s just what you think it is- quiche without a crust. Instead of pouring a filling into a pie crust made of flour, the filling itself has flour mixed into it to firm it up a bit more and make a delicious quiche without the hassle. The ingredients are mixed in one bowl, poured into a quiche pan, and baked. Simple as that!
Ingredients needed
EggsMilk – preferably whole (half and half can be used for a richer version, or low fat milk if you prefer).Bisquick or other similar baking mix OR a mixture of flour and baking powder (white or whole wheat flour both work well).Grated Parmesan CheeseShredded Cheddar Cheese – or a similar melting cheeseBroccoli – steamed florets specifically – I like to buy the frozen bag that can be steamed in the microwave for convenience.Chopped ham or bacon (optional) – omit added salt if you add ham or bacon.
How to make crustless broccoli cheddar quiche
Important Tip
I recommend baking the crustless broccoli cheddar quiche on a rimmed baking sheet covered with foil, just in case it overflows. It would be a pain to have to clean from the bottom of your oven! Plus, this makes it easier to remove from the oven so you have something to grab hold of. If using a 9×13 baking dish, you should be fine as these are larger and deeper. A quiche dish or a pie dish may result in overflow, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Can I make this quiche into individual mini/muffin size?
Sure! Just divide the batter into greased muffin pan cups and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. You might have to do a couple of batches, since this recipe makes a large quiche.
Can I make this low-carb/keto?
You can definitely make a low carb crustless broccoli cheddar quiche. The flour in the bisquick makes this higher in carbs, but if you like, you can omit it. If you omit the bisquick, add 2 more eggs to the mix. The result won’t be as fluffy, but really delicious and lower in carbs.
Should I use fresh or frozen broccoli?
It’s completely up to you. For convenience, I like to buy the frozen florets that come in the bag you can steam in the microwave, which saves tons of time and effort. But you can use fresh if you prefer. Just cut the broccoli into small florets and steam the broccoli it in a steamer basket.
Can I make this ahead of time?
YES! You can assemble everything in the quiche dish, cover with foil, and refrigerate for up to 48 hours before baking. You can also bake the whole quiche and reheat in the oven at 350 degrees covered with foil for about 15-20 minutes until it’s warmed through.
