If you think Gouda cheese is as goooooood-a as I do, then this gluten-free, crustlesss quiche recipe is for you! 

Rich and delicious with that smoky mild taste of Gouda cheese offset by some salty ham and of course, veggies, this easy, low-carb quiche recipe bakes up without a traditional pie crust – so no worries about gluten or excess carbs and such. 

You can’t beat the ease and accommodating nature of a crustless quiche – just sauté veggies, whisk up eggs, stir in cheese and bake.

I’ve used onion, mushroom and spinach as my vegetables, but this ham quiche can be substituted with most anything. 

Don’t worry if you have a little more or less veggie than I call for, just as long as the egg and cheese mixture will hold it all together. Cheese-lovers, don’t forget to add a generous sprinkling of extra cheese on the top before baking!

Next, simply pop in the oven and bake until eggs are set and the top is a beautiful golden brown with bubbling cheese. After a 5-minute cool down, cut the gluten-free ham quiche into wedges and serve!

Completely cooled, leftover pieces can be placed in freezer-save bags and frozen for busy morning breakfasts. Or, just double the recipe and meal-prep second Gouda quiche reserved for this purpose!
