Mini Crustless Quiches

I love making mini quiches like these tuna and sweetcorn ones for lunches, as they are perfect for cooking in advance and can be enjoyed hot or cold.

Great for a portable protein snack too. Tuna and Sweetcorn is a just one delicious version, but there are so many different mix ins you can go for.

Variations for Mini Crustless Quiches

If you don't like tuna and sweetcorn, then try your own favourite combinations. Here are just a few that we enjoy.

Leftover Roasted Vegetables
Bacon and Sauteed Leeks
Ham, Cheddar and Spring Onion
Salmon and Spinach
Bacon and Spinach
Garlic Mushrooms
Sausage and Kale

So many more you can do, don't be scared to try some different combinations, as there are so many different options that work.

The only tip for this is to ensure you saute anything that could release a lot of liquid first, as you don't want that liquid to leak out into the egg mix, it will make your mini crustless quiches all soggy.

Substitutes for Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is one of those things you either love or hate, and to be honest I am not a great fan of it, as it comes in it's regular form with curds of cheese. But trust me when I say you won't notice it in these mini quiches.

The cottage cheese is blended with the egg and cheese so you really can not taste those curds or texture that some people don't like.

If however you just can not face using it, here are a couple of substitutes you can go for:

Greek Yoghurt
Fromage Frais
Quark
and lastly is just using more eggs instead, for example 9 instead of the 5.

Can I leave out the cheddar?

That's totally up to you, with the pastry base gone, I find the cheddar adds a better texture and flavour, but if you want to lower the calories then you can omit the cheese is if you like.

You can also try adding in different cheeses if you are making your own variation on these. I went for cheddar as it goes well with the tuna, think of it like a tuna melt in a quiche - yum!!

Sides for Mini Quiches

Like I mentioned previously these are perfect just as they are. If you have a picnic planned or just need a portable lunch adding some of these to your lunch box are perfect as you can enjoy them just as they are cold or warm them up in a microwave if you have access to one at work.

I like to pair these with just a simple side salad. Go for whatever salad items you like. Some of my favourites for a mixed salad are:

Crisp Lettuce or Baby Leaves
Spinach
Onion
Peppers
Shredded Carrot
Tomatoes
Cooked Beetroot
Cucumber

I also like these with a little bit of my Lighter Coleslaw - yummy!!
