✨ Introduction
Quiche is one of those dishes that feels fancy, but is secretly so simple. This crustless version is not only lighter, but also completely customizable—load it up with your favorite veggies and proteins for a dish that fits your taste (and your WW plan).
I love making this quiche for meal prep because it reheats beautifully and makes weekday mornings so much easier. Plus, at 0 points per serving, it’s a guilt-free way to enjoy something hearty and satisfying!
👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
Step 1: Prep Your Dish
Spray a pie plate with nonstick spray. This keeps the quiche from sticking since we’re skipping the crust.
Step 2: Whisk the Base
Combine eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, and seasonings until smooth.
Tip: Using cottage cheese makes the quiche extra creamy without adding fat or points.
Step 3: Add the Fillings
Stir in chopped vegetables and any lean protein. Think mushrooms + spinach, peppers + onions, or turkey bacon + broccoli.
Step 4: Bake
Pour everything into the pie plate and bake until golden and set in the center—about 35 minutes.
Step 5: Cool & Slice
Allow the quiche to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 6 wedges.

đź’ Personal Note
I grew up loving quiche, but I always thought it was too heavy for everyday eating. Once I tried this crustless, lighter version, I was hooked. Now, I whip it up almost every week—it’s become a household staple because it’s quick, filling, and so easy to adapt.
