What is the difference between a Crustless Quiche and a Frittata?
While they may seem very similar, the main difference between the two is the texture. And a simple ingredient.
Quiche is an egg-based custard dish with added vegetables, cheese, and sometimes protein. It is made with milk or heavy cream to give it that “quiche-like” delicious texture and is baked fully in the oven.
A frittata is also an egg-based dish, most often finished in the oven after a stay on the stove. While it also contains added vegetables, cheese, and sometimes protein, it rarely has milk or cream in the recipe. If so, it is minimal.
Both make a delicious meal!

How long will this Crustless Quiche keep?
A perfect make-ahead recipe, this Crustless Quiche is delicious served chilled from the refrigerator. It can also be reheated.
If you reheat the quiche, I recommend using the microwave only. Here’s why. The eggs can expel water and become rubbery if it is overheated. Be sure to heat only until it is warmed through.
The crustless quiche will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Clean the mushrooms and slice thinly. Chop the green onions and mince the garlic.

Notes
I like to chill this crustless quiche before serving. It's delicious either warm, chilled, or at room temperature.
When sauteeing the mushrooms, be sure to allow all of the moisture to evaporate before adding to the egg mixture.

So, am I wrong? Isn’t a crustless quiche called a frittata? Are there other differences?
That’s true. But most frittata recipes use less milk or cream than a quiche. Quiche has a custard-like texture. There is also a difference in the cooking technique. When making a frittata, the vegetables are generally cooked in the skillet prior to adding the eggs and milk. I absolutely love frittatas too!
