Ingredients
Ingredient Notes
- Eggs and heavy cream: Two large eggs and 4 tablespoons of cream are the key ingredients in all of our crustless quiche recipes.
- Seasonings: Use salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning for flavor. You may add fresh or dried basil and oregano instead of the Italian seasoning.
- Pepperoni and mozzarella cheese: Key ingredients found on a pepperoni pizza. Feel free to use different cheese or crumbled and cooked sausage, if preferred.
How To Make This Recipe
Step 1: Start by whisking together the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a bowl.
Step 2: Next, stir in the pepperoni slices and the cheese. I used 1-ounce (½-cup) of mini pepperoni slices in this recipe, you can use larger slices of pepperoni instead.
Step 3: Lightly butter a small baking dish and pour in the egg/cream mixture.
Step 4: Bake for 25 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, a crustless quiche freezes very well.
To freeze before baking:
Mix the ingredients together and pour the mixture into a zip-top freezer bag. Thaw the quiche filling in the refrigerator for about 24 hours before baking. Transfer the ingredients to an small oven safe baking dish and bake as the quiche recipe states.
To freeze after baking:
Cook the quiche as directed and allow to cool. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and freeze. When you are ready to reheat the quiche, place the quiche in a 350 degree F oven and heat for 20 minutes.
Cover the quiche and keep in the refrigerator. It should be eaten within 3 days.
In this quiche recipe, I recommend using heavy cream (also known as double cream). The cream makes the quiche richer.
You may also use skim, lowfat, or whole milk instead of the cream. Almond milk and soy milk will work well too.

I made this tonight and it was REALLY good. It truly does taste like pizza and I didn’t even notice there’s no tomato sauce. I added some chopped green pepper and minced onion and think I’ll add some sliced mushrooms next time. Definitely a keeper. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!
