Ham and Cheese Crustless Quiche Recipe
Description
Ham and Cheese Crustless Quiche Recipe features diced, cooked ham and onions sautéed in butter, combined with broccoli steamed to a tender state. These ingredients are layered in a greased pie plate and topped with shredded cheddar cheese. A custard of whisked eggs and heavy cream is poured over the filling before baking.
Baked at 375°F for about 35 minutes, the quiche sets to a firm center without shaking, ensuring a tender yet structured texture. The absence of a crust shifts focus to the creamy custard and salty, savory components from the ham and cheese. Broccoli adds a vegetable element with mild bite.
This quiche serves well as a versatile dish for breakfast, brunch, or light meals. It can be sliced for individual portions and pairs well with fresh salad sides. The recipe can be prepped the night before; withhold baking until ready to cook for freshness.
Ingredients
- 6 egg
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz ham diced and cooked
- 1/2 onion diced

- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add in the onion and ham and cook for about 5 minutes.
- While that is cooking, place the broccoli in a microwave safe bowl with 2 tablespoon water and cook for about 2 minutes, so it can steam and become tender.

- Place the cooked ham, onion, and broccoli into a 9 inch greased pie plate.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the veggies.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly on top of the veggies and place pan into preheated oven.
- Add desired amount and salt/pepper to taste.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, or until quiche no longer shakes in center.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving!
Notes
- If preparing the quiche ahead, assemble it and refrigerate covered without baking, then bake fresh before serving.
