Gluten Free Crustless Quiche Perfect for Easter Brunch

Homemade Cascarones featured on Austin Kids blog

My kids love quiche and this is a quick, easy gluten free recipe that you can vary by adding ingredients that your kids love. This quiche would be a great way to use up left over eggs from any eggs you hollowed out to decorate like we did.

When I was a little girl, Easter at Granny’s house wasn’t just about the amazing Easter Egg hunts or the beautiful gardens at her house, it was also about the food. We have a large family and everyone would bring something to contribute to a huge Easter Brunch buffet. There was usually so much food, we not only had brunch but dinner, too. There was always an Easter ham, sometimes turkey, too, plus deviled eggs and three or four types of salads, hot rolls and too many desserts. I don’t know about you, but now there are just the four of us and we don’t tend to eat heavy meals or create big buffets like we used to.

But it is nice to create something special for Easter Sunday and try to get the kids to eat something healthy before they devour the entire chocolate Easter Bunny in their Easter Basket.

I am gluten free, but my kids are not, so I would serve this with a fruit salad and some homemade scones or store bought rolls.

This is my mom’s recipe and I am always so excited when she makes a gluten-free treat for me. Thanks to her for sharing this recipe with us! I will have to make one soon so I can take some photos!

  3. Sprinkle meat or vegetables in bottom of pan.
  4. Mix remaining ingredients with a mixer until smooth and pour over ingredients in pan.
