Can I add meat to it?

First off, yum! Secondly, you can definitely add meat to this recipe. I would recommend using bacon and cooking it first. Don't forget to drain all the grease.

I don't love tomatoes, any suggestions?

I would suggest leaving the tomatoes out, but roast them separately so anyone who does like tomatoes can put them on top.

Can I make this ahead?

You can definitely make this ahead. However, it tastes best right out of the oven. I tends to shrink and get a little watery if left for too long. If you are looking to make it ahead, I would make the mixture ahead of time and leave it covered in the fridge and take it out right before you need to bake it.

Crustless Caprese Quiche - Baking It Beautiful

The Story Behind the Crustless Caprese Quiche

A few years back my group of girl friends from Stanford would get together quite often. All but one of us was living in Utah at the time, so getting together for a delicious breakfast was something we loved doing.

Sometimes we would go out to eat for brunch. We frequented Five 5eeds in Park City and the Garden Room at the Grand America in Salt Lake. Although eating out is always fun and delicious, all of us can cook fairly well, so we would take turns hosting.

One time our breakfast got postponed because a huge snow storm blew in just in time for all of us to be in the car driving. We played it safe, and decided to wait a week. The food looked so yummy at that breakfast, but I didn’t eat any of it! I had just started a healthy eating challenge that day, so I felt like I couldn’t partake. In hindsight, ALWAYS eat the food with friends.

There was one time where I hosted brunch and I settled on serving huge giant cinnamon rolls. I for one love a good cinnamon roll, but often feel sick eating them first thing in the morning because they are too sweet. Since I didn’t want to feel sick, I knew I needed something else a little more savory and hearty. After some research, I landed on a recipe for a crustless quiche and knew I had to try it.

This crustless caprese quiche was the hit of the brunch. I kid you not! I love that is so light and doesn’t feel too indulging since there isn’t a buttery pie crust. The flavors of mozzarella, tomato, and basil are always so refreshing. I even love to drizzle a little balsamic glaze on top because it takes it to another level.

If you are looking a for a keto friendly breakfast or gluten free breakfast, this is the recipe for you! It’s packed full or protein and flavor and will be delicious no matter what your diet is.
