Gluten Free Quiche Recipe

This gluten free quiche recipe can be made using chopped ham, chopped veggies, bacon, or crumbled breakfast sausage. You can also add additional veggies if you like.

I use my gluten free pie crust recipe, which I included in the recipe card below. You can use store bought gluten free pie crust if that works easier for you.

You can bake this quiche the night before and reheat it when you’re ready to serve it. You can also bake it and freeze it for a later date.

Around the holidays we will make 3-4 quiches and freeze them for Thanksgiving or Christmas morning. We also like to make quiche for brunch on Mother’s Day.

How to make gluten free quiche

1. Par-bake the pie crust for 15 minutes while you prepare your filling ingredients. Add eggs, half and half, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl.
2. Whisk until well combined.
3. Remove the pie crust from the oven and sprinkle the ham and 1 cup of cheese into the bottom of the pie crust. If you want to add chopped green onion, or other veggies, add them here.
4. Pour the egg mixture over top of the chopped ingredients in the pie crust.
5. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheese on top.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the center is completely set. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

Is ham gluten free?

While pork is naturally gluten free and most manufacturers don’t use gluten in their processing, there is a chance that gluten could be introduced during the processing. Always check labels.

Dairy-Free Gluten Free Quiche

To make a dairy-free gluten free quiche simply swap the milk with a plain unsweetened dairy-free milk and the cheese with your favorite dairy-free equivalent.

Working with Gluten-Free Flours

When working with or measuring gluten-free flour, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level. Do not scoop your measuring cup into the gluten-free flour.

The best method really is to weigh the gluten-free flour but I don’t have the ingredient weights for all my recipes yet.

Make ahead and freeze

The gluten free quiche recipe can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat before serving.

Ingredients

For the pie crust:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
