Make this easy Slow Cooker Crustless Broccoli Cheese Quiche for breakfast or for dinner! Filled with tender broccoli and cheese and makes a perfect breakfast or dinner.
Have you ever made an egg dish in the slow cooker? It’s the only way I do quiche and breakfast casseroles now. I want to make clear that this is not an overnight recipe. I’ve tried egg dishes a few times overnight, even on the low setting they get overcooked. I’ve made so many, this one and my bacon jalapeno quiche are my favorite.
This recipe for Slow Cooker Broccoli Cheese Quiche needs only 2 hours and 15 minutes on the high setting, that is the perfect amount for the eggs to set up and they are still tender.
I decided to use cream cheese instead of milk or sour cream. The cream cheese gave this a bit of creaminess, but I could not taste cream cheese at all, it’s just there bringing the whole dish together. This breakfast casserole is low-carb and still tastes amazing.

Could this be baked in the oven instead of slow cooker? If it could be, would changes need to made to recipe?
Hi! You can bake it. You’ll have to find a similar recipe on google for I have not tested the timing in the oven.
Amazing! Used 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream instead of cream cheese, and reduced fat “Mexican blend” shredded cheese. Entire family loved it. Will make again for sure!
So delicious, super easy and can be adapted to a variety of vegetables, meats, cheeses and seasonings. Will be in regular rotation at our house
