Keto Crustless Ham and Asparagus Quiche

Morning doesn’t need fixing. Just something solid enough to anchor it.

Skip the crust. Keep the control. This breakfast uses fat, protein, and savory vegetables to fill the gap where old habits used to live.

What You’ll Need

• 2 cups sliced asparagus – snappy, clean fiber with visual texture
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped – natural sweetness to contrast protein
• 1 tbsp water – just enough to steam, not soak
• 1 cup whole milk – creamy base for warm absorption
• 4 eggs – structure + binding → satiety delivery
• 4 oz chopped cooked deli ham – salty, protein-rich, dopamine-reinforcing
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon or basil – aromatic lift to keep it clean, not heavy
• ½ tsp salt – restores morning electrolyte balance
• ¼ tsp black pepper – adds gentle edge without sting
• ½ cup finely shredded Swiss cheese – melts into the structure for a closing richness

How To Make It

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Microwave asparagus and bell pepper with water for 2 minutes under wax paper. Drain. That’s your crisp-soft contrast ready.
2. Whisk milk, eggs, and whites. Stir in vegetables, ham, herbs, salt, and pepper. Pour into a greased 9-inch pie plate. It already smells like structure.
3. Bake for 35 minutes. Add cheese, bake 5 more until center is set and edges slightly golden. Let rest 5 minutes. Then cut and serve into wedges—quietly.
