A crustless quiche is simply baked eggs —and making it in a muffin tin-makes them perfect for meal prep! These mini quiche are loaded with eggs, cottage cheese (making them creamy and high in protein), and steamed broccoli! This mini crustless broccoli quiche recipe is simple to make and will be a game changer to your weekend meal prep!

What ingredients do I need to make these Mini Crustless Broccoli Quiche?

  • Broccoli florets-steamed and chopped
  • Large eggs 
  • Low fat or fat free small curd cottage cheese
  • Unsweetened almond milk
  • Grated Parmesan
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic powder

What if I don’t like cottage cheese?! Can I omit it?

Hear me out..I’m not a huge cottage cheese fan however; I highly recommend using the cottage cheese in this mini quiche recipe. It adds a cheesy flavor and additional protein. If you’re not fan or worry about the curd texture of the cheese, don’t be. The smalls curds melt when they bake-leaving you with a creamy, cheesy consistency. If you’re really want to omit the cottage cheese, you can. Just be sure to add an additional 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk.

How do I make these Mini Crustless Broccoli Quiche?

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. 

Chop the florets into smaller, bite-sized pieces.

Add the broccoli florets to a bowl with a tablespoon of water. Cover the bowl with a clean paper towel.

Can these be frozen? I’m trying to have my husband eat healthier, especially breakfast. These would be ideal for him to take out the night before and reheat!
