This crustless quiche is such an easy low-carb meal that can be served for breakfast/brunch, lunch or dinner. You’ll love the delicious combination of kale, onions, mushrooms and feta.
Today I have a delicious recipe I’ve been waiting to share. As you all know, I love kale! It’s one of the most nutrient dense foods we can eat and it tastes good, so naturally, I try to include it in any dish possible. Recently I decided to make a crustless quiche and of course, kale needed to be involved.
This crustless quiche is savory, cheesy and healthy… what’s not to love? I’m pretty positive that this is one of my favorite recipes that I’ve created for EBF. I couldn’t stop eating it. And that says a lot for something that doesn’t have peanut butter or chocolate.
Benefits of Kale
Leafy green veggies are the most nutrient-rich foods on Earth and kale is no exception. Kale is low in calories and packed with nutrients! It is really high in vitamin A, C and K as well as a good plant-based source of calcium.
It’s a wonderful ingredient to add to you diet and there are so many ways to do so. Salads are great, but I’m also a big fan of adding it to things like soups and casseroles.
Crustless Quiche Ingredients Needed
onion
garlic
mushrooms
kale – You can use frozen or fresh
eggs and egg whites
unsweetened almond milk
feta cheese
dried Italian seasoning
grated nutmeg
sea salt
pepper
parsley – for garnish
Substitutions & Notes
Dairy-Free – Feel free to use a vegan cheese or skip the cheese all together to make this quiche dairy-free.
Vegetables – I love the combo of onion, garlic, mushrooms and kale, but feel free to use your favorite veggies or whatever you have on hand.
Almond milk – I like using unsweetened almond milk, but any type of milk will work.
What to Serve with Crustless Quiche
This recipe is makes for easy breakfasts throughout the week, but is also special enough to make for brunch. It would be great to serve on Easter morning. Here’s what I’m thinking:
Whipped Coffee – Definitely have to serve some sort of coffee to sip on and this whipped coffee is sooo good!
Coffee Cake – I always love having a sweet item at brunch and this vegan coffee cake is the perfect brunch addition.
Fruit Salad – Have to have fruit on the table too! I love this simple mixed berry fruit salad.
Apple Cider Mimosas – To round out this special brunch, I’ll be serving these fun apple cider mimosas as well!

Ingredients
cooking spray or coconut oil
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 bunch (about 3–4 cups) of kale, chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray or coconut oil.
Coat a large skillet with cooking spray or coconut oil and turn heat to medium-high. Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, kale, dried Italian seasoning, sea salt and pepper.
Cook mixture, stirring occasionally and adding a tablespoon or two of water if the pan gets too dry, until onions are translucent and kale and mushrooms have wilted.
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, almond milk and nutmeg. Season with an additional pinch of sea salt and pepper. Spread onion, mushroom and kale mixture on the bottom of prepared quiche dish. Sprinkle on the feta cheese.
Pour egg mixture over top and push under any ingredients not covered by the egg mixture to prevent burning. Bake uncovered until set and golden brown around edges, about 25 minutes. Let quiche rest at room temperature for 10-12 minutes, then cut into four slices, top with fresh parsley and serve.

As I suspected before trying this recipe, the cooking time is way too short! It would likely be perfect if you use dairy milk, but almond milk is just so watery that the quiche won’t cook in 25 minutes (now it makes sense that Blue Diamond sponsored this recipe…). Ovens vary, of course, but my quiche took about 50 minutes (!!!) to set. When it did, though, it was delicious. Love feta and nutmeg together.

I loved this!! Thank you for posting. I made this recipe twice so far. The second time I treated myself with the addition of a gluten-free/keto savoury tart crust. Great flavours! I will be making this again. And again!
P.S. if you are so inclined, it also turned out very well using heavy cream as an almond milk substitution – same cooking time.
I tried this recipe and it turned out pretty good! The 25 minutes was not enough though; I had to re-bake for longer after letting it cool and cutting into it because the middle was not set.
Thanks for the feedback, Haylee. How much longer did you end up cooking it for? Some ovens are hotter than others so the cook time always vary oven to oven.
What a great idea to use up the excess kale growing in our garden. It’s delish! My husband was hesitant to have it so I did add 1/3 cup of sausage crumbles for him. It definitely doesn’t need it. I might try making it in muffin tins and having freezer friendly breakfasts ready in a flash.
So glad this quiche was a hit, Debbie. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a comment + star rating. And definitely let me know if you try these as muffin cups and how they turn out!!
Just found your site about a week ago and I’m hooked! Made this tonight, “breakfast for dinner” because I had all of the ingredients and wow was it delicious and easy to make.
Hey Eliana – That should work just fine, I would just make sure to let it defrost so you can squeeze out all the excess liquid otherwise your quiche might turn out too liquidy. Let me know how it turns out for you!
Instead of the egg whites, how would flax gel work? I hate the idea of using only the whites and don’t use eggs that frequently to want to store the yolks. Other than this the recipe looks like a good one to try.
I don’t know how using flaxseed eggs would work for this. My recommendation would be to use 3 eggs instead of the 1/3 cup egg whites — so 6 eggs total.
Would you post the nutrition information for this recipe please? I’ve been so excited to find a blog that has healthy recipes with nutrition info! We are kind of new vegetarians and have started doing some high intensity training. I’ve had to really watch my protein because I’ve been so POOPED! Can’t believe how out of shape I let myself get! Love your site!
Thanks for all of the research and effort you put in which helps out people like me who aren’t sure where to begin 🙂 A quick question – would you be able to recommend substitutes for the almond milk (I have an almond allergy :/ )
Cheers 🙂
I made this, adding spinach because I didn’t have enough kale, and it was great! It seemed a bit flat however; perhaps could have used a few more egg whites? I also made a perfect, thin crust using a multigrain gluten free wrap put out by Goodbye Gluten Bakeries!
Hey Brittany! Love this for some time now! But I couldn’t find the link from your lists on the recipe page…(had to find it for a friend and thought that would be the quickest way to locate it)…check it out…see if it is there or not. I did a search and found it again this way. Just wanted you to know! 😉 Love your blog, you are such a great inspiration! Keep up the great work!
Just made this for dinner tonight and it was awesome! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! I have a feeling its going to be one I made again and again 🙂
If you can believe it, I have never had quiche before. This recipe looks like a great food prep and I can not wait to test it out! Thank you for sharing. Sending you a happy + healthy week. Love + Shine Courtstar

Sorry to hear this recipe took much longer to cook for you. Did you change anything about the recipe?

Ahh that makes me so happy to hear, Natalie. So glad you found me and are loving the recipes. 🙂
Great recipe! I added fresh chillies and omitted the egg whites but added one extra eggs. Also doubled the feta cheese and nutmeg.
★★★★★
I made this with arugula instead of kale, and added broccoli! I also seasoned with rosemary and thyme.
It was delicious!

Is it possible to use another non-dairy milk besides Almond? Have you ever tried adding non-dairy cheese?
Hey Kelly – You can use whatever milk you prefer. 🙂 And I haven’t tried non-dairy cheese, but you can certainly experiment with it!
Super tasty – enjoyed it very much!! Thanks for sharing.

Could i use Chopped Frozen Kale? Want to try this for the Weekend!! And I have some frozen kale calling my name
Hey Eliana – That should work just fine, I would just make sure to let it defrost so you can squeeze out all the excess liquid otherwise your quiche might turn out too liquidy. Let me know how it turns out for you!
My husband doesn’t like Feta. What alternative would you suggest?
Any other cheese that you and your husband like will work!

YUM! I love kale, and I love feta, but I’ve never paired the two before. What a good idea, this looks gorgeous.
Making this RIGHT now thanks babe <3
