I was all set to make a crustless quiche. But then, I remembered this can of crescent dough in my fridge. And, I really don't like to let things go to waste...

Ok, so it might not be gluten free...but, this is a great way to make a fun and fancy-looking breakfast or brunch! A welcomed change from the usual pie crust- those flaky crescent layers give a little something extra to this already pinkie-raising-worthy dish.

I'm still waiting for some company to create a good, gluten free crescent roll alternative. I mean...we've made a vaccine in less than a year and sent a man to the moon. So, I maintain hope that it is possible...

Someday. Right?!? In the meantime, we can serve this dish to our gluten-tolerating counterparts and then stare at them with envy...

How is quiche different than a frittata?

Quiche is a French tart. It starts with a pastry crust and is then filled with a savory custard- cheese, meat, seafood, and/or vegetables. As a simple answer, a frittata is like a quiche, but without the crust. Quiches are baked, while frittatas are often started in a skillet and then baked.

 

Can I make this quiche gluten free?

Unfortunately, I have never been able to find gluten free crescent dough. You would need to make your own gluten free dough or try a premade mix.

Ingredients
  • 1 pkg. refrigerated crescent dough
  • 1 c. broccoli florets
  • Olive oil
  • 1 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 2 - 3 oz. ham, diced
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 c. milk (can use dairy free)
  • 1/2 - 3/4 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x9 baking dish. Then, cut and press dough to cover the bottom of the pan and about an inch going up the sides of the pan. Set aside. Then, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for about 3 minutes. Next, drain, allow to cool, and chop into smaller pieces.
  • Heat a medium skillet with about 1 Tbsp. of olive oil. Sauté the diced peppers and ham for 3-4 minutes, over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Then, add the broccoli and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Spoon mixture over the dough.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Pour over the vegetable mixture. Next, sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until eggs are set. Allow to cool before slicing.
