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.

Sharon Guthrie says
I never have heavy cream in the house. What would happen if I use whole milk instead or maybe buttermilk mix?
Joanie Zisk says
I haven't tried buttermilk in this recipe but milk will definitely work.
Aloha Kirsch says
I made this quiche for dinner. Loved it. Added some chopped onion & black olives.
Didn't have Italian seasoning so I added oregano & basil.
Will definitely make this again.
Joanie Zisk says
Your additions sound wonderful. I'm so happy you enjoyed the quiche.
Beth says
I just received my single serve casserole dishes and baptized them with this dish. The dish looked so small, but the ingredients fit just perfectly!! This was very tasty and there's so much room for variety! Just discovered your website and I'm looking forward to trying more recipes.
Joanie Zisk says
Thank you, Beth. I'm so glad you enjoyed the quiche.
Phillipa Taylor says
Can one double up this recipe as my dishes are all too big and I don't really want to buy another dish?
Thanks
Joanie Zisk says
Yes, you can double the ingredients for any of our crustless quiche recipes.
Lora A Yoder says
I also am wondering this same thing. What size dish you end of using when you doubled the recipe? 9x9? How did you adjust the cook time, then? Thank you!!
Teresa says
I made this for lunch today. I had half & half to use instead of heavy cream. It was very good. I will make it again, maybe trying out other pizza ingredients.
Joanie Zisk says
I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Teresa. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know.
