The classic quiche made a whole new way! It’s based on a favorite recipe that needed to be upgraded to be gluten—and dairy-free. An easy way to make this gluten-free is to make it without a crust; you won’t miss it. I used coconut milk in the quiche, and I topped one with dairy-free homemade cheese and the other with sheep cheese. They both turned out delicious.
The quiche on the left was made with Hello Cheese, a homemade dairy-free Cheese from the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. The quiche on the right was made with Pecorino Romano, a sheep cheese. Manchego sheep cheese would work well here, too.
The recipe makes enough for two quiches. I’ll make this for supper and then have the extra one to serve for breakfast or leftovers. Depending on the size of your family, you may not have any leftovers. They also freeze well.
Tips for making this quiche:
- If you can have sheep or goat cheese, you could use either on the top of the quiche. I usually use Pecorino Romano or Manchego sheep cheese.
- You can use a vegan cheese recipe to be completely dairy-free. I used the recipe in the new Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook for the “Hello Cheese.” It’s quick and simple to make. There are a few special ingredients that I had to purchase to make the “Hello Cheese,” but they will last a long time and yield a lot of cheese. Some special ingredients are agar powder, collagen, nutritional yeast, and toasted sesame oil.
- If you don’t have the THM cookbook, here are two recipes I found online for vegan cheese you could try. I haven’t tried them, but they look easy to make. 15 minute Vegan Cheese and Homemade Vegan Cheese.
- You can leave off the cheese completely, and it will still be yummy.

Made for the first time tonight. Made one dairy free and the other not. A hit with everyone. Added a little Italian seasoning and green onions instead of white onion since I’m not a big onion fan. Will make again for sure.
