Healthy Crustless Veggie Quiche
So I have to admit that my 6″ individual tart pans are the reason for this recipe. For those of you who are also native to Vancouver, you can find them at Daiso for $2/each, which pretty much sealed the deal for me. I’ve already used them twice to make quiche, so I think they’ve already paid for themselves.
I also have to admit that this recipe is crustless half because I am lazy, and half because pastry just doesn’t strike me as necessary to make an awesome quiche (layer of flour and butter – you will not be missed).
I also made this recipe dairy-free, to prove to myself I could make a tasty quiche without the cheese.

This was so great! I doubled it, used rice flour instead of wheat, made a spelt crust, and threw it in a pie pan. Wheat free, dairy free, and delicious! Thanks!
Awesome recipe and beautiful photos. Having the quiche for breakfast on a cool Fall morning!
Is there a gluten-free option for the unbleached flour? If I omit will it be ok? Thanks!
Hey Suzanne! Ashley posted above that she subbed in rice flour, but you should be fine to omit it as well.
