A Savory Start: Crustless Veggie Quiche

Breakfast sets the tone for the entire day, and savory options like quiche bring protein, fiber, and colorful vegetables together in one nourishing dish. This crustless veggie quiche is hearty enough for breakfast but versatile enough to serve for lunch or dinner with a simple side salad. With just better.® prebiotic fiber stirred right into the quiche base, every slice supports your gut health and helps keep blood sugars balanced. 

Why a Savory Breakfast?

Sweet breakfasts are popular, but they often rely on refined carbs and sugars that can lead to mid-morning blood sugar “spikes and crashes.” High-carb morning meals also spark inflammation. A savory breakfast, on the other hand, sets a different tone for the day.

By building the first meal around protein, healthy fats, fiber, and colorful vegetables, we give our bodies a more stable source of energy and nutrients that support both gut health and metabolic balance. Quiche is a perfect example — it’s hearty, versatile, and easy to load with veggies that deliver lasting benefits. 

Ingredient Highlights

Broccoli: Broccoli is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate. It also provides fiber to support digestion and adds a satisfying texture that holds up well in baked dishes like quiche. Lightly steaming before adding it helps preserve both flavor and nutrition.

Spinach: Spinach is a rich source of iron, vitamin A, vitamin K, and magnesium. It also contains lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids that support eye health. Cooking spinach briefly before adding it to the quiche helps reduce its water content, which prevents excess moisture in the final dish.

Mushrooms: Mushrooms bring a savory, umami depth to the quiche and provide important minerals, including selenium and zinc. Cooking mushrooms until golden drives off excess moisture, ensuring they add flavor without making the quiche watery.

Red Bell Pepper: Red bell peppers add color, natural sweetness, and are an excellent source of vitamin C. They also contain carotenoids such as beta-carotene, which act as antioxidants. Lightly sautéing helps reduce excess moisture and brings out their flavor.

Eggs: Eggs are the foundation of any quiche, offering high-quality protein and essential nutrients like choline, which supports brain function. Whisking them with milk or half-and-half creates the custardy texture that makes quiche so satisfying.

Cheese: A sharp cheese such as Gruyère, Swiss, or cheddar provides calcium, protein, and a creamy texture. It also balances the flavor of the vegetables, making the quiche both hearty and comforting.
