"Crustless quiche was a new adventure for me when we started having to do ulta-low-carb meals, but it turns out quiche lends itself quite well to having no crust. I always use a glass pie plate and have never had an issue with it falling apart. Sometimes for variety I will crush 3/4 cup french fried onions (the ones in the can) and spread them in the bottom for a sort-of crust. Then I'll also top it with about 1/4 cup the last five minutes of baking."

The flavour and appearance of this quiche is 5 star however the posted times were a bit off. I would allow 25 minutes for the preparation time. My oven is very accurate and the bake time was 45 minutes and it could have taken 5 more minutes. Allowing this I will surely make this delicious quiche again.

This was great! I made a few changes by using double the crab and cheese but using the same amount of the rest of the ingredients. I also used jerk seasoning instead of cajun seasoning. Baked in a 10 inch quiche pan for almost one hour. Delish and leftovers will work out very well for lunches!
