Our easy crust-less Southwest quiche has all the fresh and smoky flavors from the Southwest; including diced green chiles and tomatoes and Chipotle spices.
Growing up, my Dad used to make quiches from time to time. He used tomatoes, peppers, onions, bacon, and cheese in his dish.
Usually, he would make them for breakfast with a side of toast. Other times, he made his fluffy scrambled eggs.
As I got older, I wanted to do something similar. So, I started experimenting with flavors until I came with my own crustless Southwest quiche.

What goes in quiche?
Quiche can be made a number of ways; either with or without crust. Additionally, you can add a lot of different ingredients to this brunch time classic. For example, bacon, cheese, ham, peppers, onions, spinach, and feta are all tasty ingredient options.
Can you freeze quiche?
Technically, you can freeze a cooked quiche. However, I don’t recommend it due to the delicate natural of baked eggs. The texture can be very unappealing so, freeze at your own risk.

How to make a Southwest quiche?
First, start by preheating your oven to 350° F. and spraying a 9-inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Next, grab a large mixing bowl. Crack the eggs and add them to the bowl.
After that, toss in the onions, drained tomatoes and green chiles, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and Chipotle powder.

Use a whisk to combine everything.
Then, transfer the mixture to the pie pan. Be careful not to spill the batter because the pie pan will be pretty full.

Afterward, place the pan into the oven to bake for about 60-75 minutes. When done, the quiche should be cooked through and brown on top.
Last, remove the pan from the oven and let the baked egg dish rest for about 5-minutes before serving.

That’s it, your Southwest quiche without crust recipe is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy it and wish you all the best 🙂
Recipe Tips:
- Keep an eye on the quiche, especially during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking as it can over brown. If this starts to happen, cover it with a tin-foil tent to keep the top from over cooking.
- It might be a good idea to place the pie pan on a sheet pan while the quiche cooks. Just in case it tries to bubble over the rim of the pan.
- If you want to add meat and cheese to the Southwest quiche, I recommend Monterey Jack and Pepper Jack along with diced precooked ham or precooked chopped bacon.
