This crustless, dairy-free, and keto spinach quiche can become your go-to recipe—and not only for breakfast or brunch. It takes just a few minutes of active prep time and about 30 minutes in the oven, so it’s ideal for rushed breakfasts, lunches, or dinners. Feel free to add in other vegetables of your choice, or serve it with a green salad as they commonly do in France.
While most quiche recipes include milk, cream, cheese, and often butter, this recipe is dairy-free. You can use whatever dairy-free cheese is your favorite, or make your own, and choose a milk alternative, such as unsweetened soy milk or almond milk. While this recipe is vegetarian and dairy-free, it is not vegan as it uses eggs, which are an animal product.

Using your fingers, crumble a little more than half of the dairy-free cheese into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate, covering as much of the surface area as possible.

Tips
- Feel free to combine two flavors of cheese; cheddar and Parmesan go well together, as does mozzarella and smoked gouda.
- Cover and refrigerate any leftover quiche.
- You can easily reheat the quiche in the microwave to enjoy the next day.
Recipe Variations
- You can modify this recipe and add vegetables such as onions, bell peppers, asparagus, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, or tomatoes.
- Roasted red peppers, pimentos, and chilis can add zest and spice if you find the quiche a little too tame.
- You can also bake the quiche in silicone muffin forms to make individual quiches, or in mini-muffin tins for mini-quiches. These can be fun appetizers for a party.
What Is Dairy-Free Cheese Made of?
Dairy-free cheese, also referred to as vegan cheese, is made of either nuts or oils. If the recipe calls for the cheese to melt and become gooey, you should choose an oil-based cheese; if the cheese should maintain some structure, nut-based is the way to go.
