This savory bacon and broccoli crustless quiche is a delicious addition to your brunch or holiday rotation. It’s highly customizable and filled with meat, cheese, and vegetables. It can also be prepped and assembled ahead of time for extra convenience on busy mornings.
Substitutions + Variations
Meat – Ham or sausage can be used instead of bacon.
Vegetables – Switch up the vegetables! Try sweet peppers or mushrooms. Just be sure to cook down your veg to get the excess moisture out.
Cheese – Try parmesan or feta for a tangier flavor profile. Or mozzarella if you prefer a mild cheese.
Tips
This can be made ahead of time. You can fully assemble the unbaked quiche and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake it. Let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes and then bake as directed.

Bacon and Broccoli Crustless Quiche
Ingredients
- 6 slices thick cut bacon cut into bite sized pieces
- 2 cups broccoli cut into small floret pieces
- ½ medium onion thin sliced
- 1 cup spinach optional
- 6 large eggs
- ¾ whole milk or a mix of whole and 2%
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- ¾ cup cheddar, gruyere, or Colby jack shredded
- 2 stalks green onion chopped
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until the pieces are cooked and crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate. In the same skillet, add the broccoli and onion. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add in the spinach if using and cook for another minute. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a deep 9-inch pie dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and ground mustard.
- Spoon the bacon and vegetables evenly in the pie dish.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Slowly pour the egg mixture into the dish. Sprinkle the green onions on top.
- Bake the quiche for about 35 minutes until the center is set. It will look puffed up and golden on the edges. You can check if it is done by using a sharp knife inserted in the center. It should look cooked without any excess liquid.
- Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
