Ingredients
If you have any ingredients leftover from this single serving goat cheese quiche recipe, check out our Leftover Ingredients Recipe Finder.
- Butter or oil spray: Grease the baking dish so the crustless quiche doesn’t stick. A non-stick oil spray works well for easy cleanup.
- Eggs and dairy: Two large eggs combined with 4 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk form the rich, creamy custard base of this easy quiche recipe.
- Seasonings: A pinch of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper seasons the egg mixture. You can adjust to taste or add dried herbs like thyme or oregano for extra savory flavor.
- Prosciutto: Thin slices of dry-cured Italian ham add salty richness that pairs beautifully with goat cheese. If you prefer, swap in cooked ham, bacon, or pancetta for a different flavor. Extra prosciutto can be added to our shrimp and prosciutto pasta recipe.
- Goat cheese (chèvre): Tangy, creamy goat cheese is the star of this crustless quiche. If needed, feta makes a good substitute with a similar tang. Leftover goat cheese can be used to make small batch goat cheese dressing.
- Green onions: Sliced green onions add mild onion flavor, color, and a bit of crunch to balance the creamy filling.
How To Make A Crustless Goat Cheese Quiche
See the recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 eggs and 4 tablespoons of cream. Season with a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a small amount of garlic powder.
- Stir in 1 ounce of chopped prosciutto, 1 ounce of crumbled goat cheese, and 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into a lightly buttered 5×5-inch baking dish.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.
Expert Tips
- Use the right baking dish: A 5×5-inch baking dish holds about 25 ounces and allows the crustless quiche to bake evenly without spilling over.
- Whisk the eggs well: Fully whisking the eggs and cream helps create a smooth, custard-like texture.
- Don’t overbake: The quiche is done when the center is just set and no longer jiggles. Overbaking can make the eggs firm.
- Let it rest briefly: Allow the quiche to rest for a few minutes after baking so it sets fully and slices cleanly.
Serving Suggestions
This crustless goat cheese quiche pairs well with simple sides that round out the meal without overwhelming it.

This recipe is perfect. The one change I made was as to substitute half and half for the cream. I loved it, light and fluffy. Excellent flavor.
I made this using 4 Tbsp. unsweetened almond milk.
I used 2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
I added some salad microgreens
I liked it, but it wasn’t that tasty for me.
I’d like to know if others have tried this recipe and
what they did that was different from the original recipe. 🙂
Hi Chuck, thanks for your feedback. With all those changes, I’m not surprised it wasn’t as tasty as the original recipe.
This is excellent! I would never have thought of putting goat cheese and prosciutto together in a quiche, but my husband and I loved the combination. The green onions really added to the flavor. This will be a new favorite of ours.
I’m so happy you both enjoyed the quiche, it really is a great flavor combination.
Looking for your cookware for one thank you Beverly
Made this this morning. Its absolutely delicious, I didn’t have prosciutto, but used pancetta. Came out amazing. Very much a keeper recipe!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the quiche, thank you for your feedback.
