Today we're sharing a royal treat for those who cook for themselves! This single-serving crustless Coronation Quiche is not only simple and satisfying, but it also has a regal touch. Adapted from a recipe personally chosen by King Charles for his upcoming Coronation in England, this delightful quiche features eggs, cream, cheese, beans, and spinach. This quiche is perfect for those who want to celebrate the occasion, even if they're cooking just for one!

What Is Coronation Quiche?

Coronation Quiche is a delicious and savory dish that pays homage to the grandeur and elegance of the British monarchy. This crustless version is a low-carb twist on a traditional quiche, made with simple yet flavorful ingredients that can easily be found in any American kitchen.

What Is The Origin And History Of Coronation Recipes?

The tradition of creating special dishes or recipes for coronation celebrations in England dates back centuries. These coronation recipes are often chosen to mark the significance of the event and showcase the grandeur and sophistication of the monarchy. They are typically prepared for lavish banquets, which are an integral part of the coronation ceremonies, allowing the newly crowned monarch to share a meal with their most distinguished guests.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Easy to make: With only a few ingredients and simple instructions, you'll have a delectable quiche in no time. We adapted the original Coronation Quiche recipe to include ingredients found in most American kitchens. If you'd like the version from Buckingham Palace, here is their quiche recipe.
  • Perfectly portioned: Designed specifically for one person, this recipe is specially designed for one serving, so you won't have to worry about leftovers.
  • Nutritious: Packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, this small Coronation Quiche is a healthy and satisfying meal option.
  • Recipe doubles well: This easy quiche recipe yields one generous serving. If you'd like to make "Coronation Quiche For Two" or to simply have leftovers for another meal, simply double the ingredient amounts.

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

See below for ways to use leftover ingredients.

  • Eggs: Use 2 large eggs.
  • Heavy cream: To keep this a low-carb recipe, I recommend using heavy cream (double cream) or heavy whipping cream. Both of these ingredients are essentially the same - they both have over 36% milk fat, and the name often depends on the brand. Cream helps to create a rich and luxurious texture, but you can substitute with half-and-half or whole milk if desired.
  • Cheese: Cheddar cheese adds a classic flavor, but you can use other cheeses like Gruyère or Swiss for a different taste.
  • Beans: In the original Coronation Quiche recipe, broad beans are used. Broad beans, also known as fava beans are not easily found here in America so, for convenience, I recommend using canned white beans like cannellini beans, also known as white kidney beans or white northern beans instead.
  • Tarragon: Use 1 ½ teaspoons of freshly chopped tarragon in this quiche recipe. Although I recommend using fresh tarragon in this recipe, you can use ⅛ teaspoon of dried tarragon instead.
  • Spinach: Fresh baby spinach adds a burst of color and nutrients. You can also use other leafy greens like kale or Swiss chard.
  • Salt and black pepper: Adds additional flavor.
  • Olive oil: I use extra virgin olive oil in this easy Coronation Quiche recipe as well as in every other recipe on One Dish Kitchen that calls for olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the least processed form of olive oil. It is an unrefined oil and the highest-quality olive oil you can buy. Because of the way extra virgin olive oil is made, it retains a more true olive taste. It also contains more of the vitamins and minerals found in olives. It's my favorite type of olive oil to use but you may use a lighter olive oil instead.
  • Crust: This is a crustless quiche recipe. If you would like to make Coronation Quiche with a pie crust, use our single-serving pie crust recipe.

This is just an overview of the ingredients I used and why I used them. For the full recipe please scroll down to the recipe box at the bottom of the post.

  1. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper.

Pro Tip: Whisking together the eggs and cream together slightly before adding in the other ingredients helps to make a fluffier quiche.

  • To freeze after baking: Cook the quiche as directed and allow it to cool. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and freeze. When you are ready to reheat the quiche, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, and then place the quiche in a 350° F oven and heat for 20 minutes.

    When I pulled it out of the oven I thought I would have two meals--nope! It was so good that I ate the whole thing in one sitting and didn't feel the least remorseful over it. It was so good and so very easy to make. After a couple of hours I was able to treat myself to a couple of bites of your Strawberry Crumble to which I'd added some rhubarb. Good eats!
