I absolutely love quiche – but it can be a little time consuming to make, especially when pie crust is involved! But today’s Crustless Ham and Cheddar Quiche is the best of both worlds – simple to make but still with a delicious, cheesy quiche flavor!
It’s similar to a traditional quiche recipe – filled with diced ham, onions, carrots and cheddar cheese – but this crustless ham and cheddar quiche bakes up light and puffy in the oven thanks to the addition of baking mix in the batter!
It’s perfect for a quick family meal – and any leftovers make a delicious lunch on the go! We used the homemade baking mix recipe that we shared yesterday to make this easy crustless ham and cheddar quiche – but feel free to use a boxed baking mix if you prefer. You can also swap in different meats and vegetables to make this recipe your own. Enjoy!

I made this for dinner and it was amazing! Nice and fluffy!
Thanks Kerry!
I make this regularly! Even the hubs loves it. I make one change. I use Canadian bacon instead of ham. It seems to add a bit more flavor. I also add it to the pan with the carrots and onions to get it a little brown. Love this recipe!
Great suggestions Laura!
Very good. Will make again.
Thanks Norma!
Hello Martha, from sunny GB !
Made your quiche again but this time with courgettes, onions an cheddar as it is summer and I don’t have any ham anyway. Will let it cool down and eat it on Saturday with a green salad. Thank you again
Sounds delicious Catherine – hope you love it!
Made this a few days ago, following my boiled smoked gammon and your gorgeous soup.
The homemade baking mix was all new to me and it worked – jar in the fridge for the next quiches.
Fortunately had a set of US measuring cups – U.K. here – but otherwise straightforward to make.
The result was a puffy, golden and absolutely fantastic quiche; eaten hot with a green salad on the day and cold for lunch the next day.
My husband really loved it – and my son later on too.
I will most definitely do it again in the colder months.
Thank you. I accidentally found your site by googling an ingredient for inspiration.
Though I would appreciate some nutritional values for us carbs and cals counting people, your site is great.
Hi Catherine – So glad you enjoyed the recipe! We’re in the process of adding nutritional information to all of our recipes – it’s a manual process so is just taking us some time to go back to our older recipes. (We have 1600+ recipes on our site!) I’ll go in and add the info to this quiche recipe as well as the baking mix, and if you see any other recipes missing the info, please drop us a note and we can add that for you. Thanks!
Do you have nutritional information for this? I am a type 2 diabetic and am always looking for good quick low carb breakfast ideas.
Hi Nita – I just added the nutritional information to the bottom of the recipe card. (We’re slowly adding it to all of our recipes – it’s a manual process so it takes some time.) While this Crustless Quiche recipe isn’t really low carb, you might be interested in our Baked Western Omelet recipe which is designed to be low-carb. You can see that recipe here: https://www.afamilyfeast.com/baked-western-omelet/
For sure gonna try this….and the bisquick makes sense ….lots of restaurants use a dash of pancake mix in their omelets…..
We hope you enjoy the recipe Cindy!
I would like to add some greens to the Crustless Ham and Cheddar quiche…broccoli or spinach. Wud I have to change the original ingredient measurements?
Hi Trish – The broccoli and spinach will both yield some liquid when baking…you could add a little extra baking mix to the batter to help absorb that.
