This low carb 4-ingredient crustless sausage quiche is my springtime nod to the hearty breakfast my grandmother used to make every year when the weather finally started to warm up. She loved anything that could feed a crowd without a lot of fuss, and this fluffy, savory egg bake was always the first thing to disappear from the table. It bakes up golden around the edges with a soft, tender center, speckled with browned sausage and melted cheddar. With just four basic ingredients and no crust to fuss with, it’s perfect for busy mornings, weekend brunch, or meal prep when you want something comforting, filling, and easy to reheat.
Serve this crustless sausage quiche warm, straight from the white baking dish, with a simple side of sliced tomatoes or a quick green salad tossed in olive oil and lemon to keep things light and fresh. It also pairs really well with a side of berries for a bit of natural sweetness, or some avocado slices for extra healthy fats if you’re keeping things low carb. For a fuller brunch spread, add crispy bacon for the meat lovers and a small bowl of plain Greek yogurt with nuts on the side. Leftovers are great as a grab-and-go breakfast with a travel mug of coffee or reheated for a cozy breakfast-for-dinner night.
Low Carb 4-Ingredient Crustless Sausage Quiche
Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 pound ground breakfast sausage (pork, no sugar added if low carb)
8 large eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch white baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked through with no pink remaining, about 7–10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease if needed to keep the quiche from getting too oily.
