Crustless vs. Traditional Quiche

Traditional quiche includes a pie crust. In order to keep things light, I opted to go crustless on this beauty.

If you want to make this with a crust, you certainly can. A store-bought crust works well but you can easily make a pie crust at home. Use your favourite recipe or check out the pie crust instructions in my Leek and Spring Pea Quiche (also a delicious quiche that is absolute perfect for this time of year)!

With regular quiches, I recommend blind baking the crust first before adding the egg filling. Blind baking is when you bake your pie crust without its filling in it. This prevents a soggy, undercook crust. To do this, be sure to prick your crust with the tines of a fork before popping it into the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Pricking the crust will prevent it puffing up.

Then, you pull out your pie crust, fill it with your filling (prepared using the recipe below) and pop it back in to finish cooking. In 30 minutes or so you will have a perfectly baked crust and filling. No soggy bottoms here.

How to make Crustless Asparagus & Feta Quiche

Making this crustless quiche is ridiculously easy to do. You literally mix up all of the ingredients in a bowl, pop it into a quiche or pie plate, and bake it until it is set. That is it!

Ingredients you’ll need:

  • eggs
  • asparagus
  • green onions
  • feta
  • grated cheese (mozzarella, havarti, cheddar, etc)
  • milk
  • herbs, salt and pepper

For todays quiche, I used dry thyme because I didn’t have any fresh herbs on hand. You could totally use fresh instead. Whenever you sub fresh herbs in place of a dry herb, triple the amount. You can also sub in your favourite herb. Oregano, rosemary, and dill all work well here.

I hope you give this quiche a try! If you do, I’d love to know what you think!

Bon appetit!
