This easy zucchini and feta crustless quiche is a delicious vegetarian recipe for any time of the day and perfect with a side salad as a light meal.

Quiche is always a good idea as a make-ahead breakfast/brunch or light lunch. This crustless quiche takes away all the faff that comes along with working with pastry. Plus it gives you all the delicious, cheesiness that a quiche delivers.

I love making crustless quiches for easy lunches and it’s perfect served with a side salad for a quick and light dinner. This zucchini and feta quiche will be perfection at Easter brunch. As a bonus, it can be made a few hours in advance to make time and space for any other recipes you might need to prep. Easy, cheesy deliciousness. Yes please!

How to make crustless quiche

Combine eggs, cottage cheese and a tablespoon of flour (optional) with salt, pepper and thyme and mix well. Place the drained zucchini, cheddar and feta into a pie dish and pour over the egg mixture. Allow to bake until golden and puffed then remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature before serving.

Is a frittata the same as a crustless quiche?

Though both are very similar, this crustless quiche is a much richer recipe with creamed/smooth cottage cheese and flour worked into the mixture. This is to add creaminess and also more stability to the egg base. The flour is optional and can be left out or replaced if you want a low carb/gluten free version.

    Hi there, I’m making this for dinner tonight, but I’m confused about the zucchini measurements. Do I use 4 large ones each 350 gr or are those 4 combined 350 gr?

      4 zucchini combined must be 350g. 🙂

    Made this for brunch. Very easy, super tasty. Added extra grated cheddar and a handful of chopped chives. Delicious!

    It seems this is great for a brunch potluck on a Sunday morning after church, except that it’d be hard to serve it hot. How does it taste if served cold the next day? Or can it be reheated and how? The reheating wouldn’t be easy to time right either, I fear. Ideas?

      It’s best served at room temperature.
