Keto Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche

If you’re looking for an easy, low-carb breakfast, brunch, or dinner recipe, this Keto Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche is a perfect choice. It’s packed with protein, full of flavor, and incredibly simple to prepare. Because this recipe skips the traditional crust, it keeps the carbs low while still delivering the rich, satisfying taste of a classic quiche.

This dish is also a great way to use up leftover ham. The combination of savory ham, melted cheese, and sautéed onions baked into creamy eggs creates a hearty meal that works for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner. Cottage cheese adds extra creaminess and helps give the quiche a fluffy texture without needing heavy cream.

Another bonus? This recipe only takes a few minutes to assemble and bakes in under 40 minutes. Make it ahead of time for meal prep, or serve it fresh from the oven for a warm and comforting meal.
