Crustless Quiche: A Low-Carb, Versatile Dinner Delight
Looking for a healthy dinner that’s quick, nutritious, and endlessly adaptable? Say hello to crustless quiche, a low-carb, gluten-free dish that’s as versatile as it is delicious.
Originating from France’s classic quiche lorraine, this savory pie has evolved into countless variations, but my version skips the carb-heavy pastry crust for a lighter, more digestible meal.
Packed with eggs, vegetables, and optional dairy, it’s perfect for a first course, light dinner, or meal prep.
Whether you’re on a keto diet, avoiding dairy, or just want a diabetic-friendly recipe, this crustless quiche is a game-changer.
Let’s explore its nutritional benefits, easy prep, and how to make it your own!
Why Crustless Quiche?
Traditional quiche, with its shortcrust or puff pastry base, is high in carbs (20-30g per slice) and calories (300-400 kcal), often leaving you feeling heavy. This crustless quiche reimagines the classic:
-
Low-Carb: Only 5-7g carbs per serving, compared to 30g in standard quiche.
-
Gluten-Free: No flour or pastry, ideal for celiacs or grain-free diets.
-
Dairy-Free Option: Skip cheese or use plant-based milk for lactose intolerance.
-
Diabetic-Friendly: Low-carb and protein-rich, with minimal blood sugar impact.
-
Versatile: Use any veggies or proteins, making it a fridge-clearing hero.
-
Meal Prep-Friendly: Stays fresh for days, perfect for busy schedules.
By ditching the dough, this quiche is lighter, easier to digest, and just as flavorful, making it a staple for keto, paleo, or low-carb lifestyles.

Me encanta tu profesionalidad, rigor y claridad, para mí virtudes no muy habituales.
Por favor, podrías aclararme si las calorías que usas son las habituales kilocalorias. Este es un asunto que perturba al no usar un criterio único: quizá la utilización del Julio, evite esa previsible confusión .
Mira, quiero introducir praliné en cacao puro, eliminando la sacarosa. Que me aconsejas. Ah, en general procuro evitar alcanzar temperaturas superiores a 70 C, para no desnaturalizar los constituyentes.
Muchas gracias por tu atención. Cordiales saludos.

Hola, las kcal se calculan en función de la cantidad de ingredientes que hay en la receta y se dividen por el número de raciones, es un cálculo automático que hace el plugin. Puede que en algunas recetas sea llamativo el resultado porque hay algunos ingredientes calóricos, pero en general se ajusta bastante a la realidad.
Para endulzar el cacao te aconsejo el uso de eritritol o de esteviol, ambos son saludables. En cuanto a las cantidades, el eritritol la misma que si usaras azúcar o un poco más y el esteviol mucho menos porque tiene un poder edulcorante muy superior. Dependiendo de la cantidad que prepares, deberás ajustar las cantidades.
Saludos y gracias por tu comentario.
