A high protein quiche ready in a fraction of the time with use of an Instant Pot?
It IS possible!
The Instant Pot has gathered quite the cult following in the last few years, and for good reason! I use mine frequently and I love how it saves me so much time and frees up my stove for other uses (and less mess!) It is the busy mom’s best friend!!
About a year ago, I discovered that my whole family LOVES quiche, and it came together in a snap for me! I loved how versatile it was, and how easy it was to adapt to everyone’s taste buds, as well as to what I had on hand.
I had to figure out how to make it in the Instant Pot for busy school mornings….and boy oh boy, delicious!! These air fryer breakfast potatoes make a great addtion to the protein rich quiche.
These keto and Whole 30 friendly pressure cooker quiches reheat well, so make more than you need if you want!
And if you are looking for some new recipes to get you out of a breakfast rut, or are looking for new ideas to feed your family a healthy breakfast before starting their days, look no further! These paleo crustless personal quiches are just the ticket!
Special diet ingredient notes:
Quiches are infinitely adaptable:
- You get to play with what vegetables you prefer…..if it makes a tasty vegetable saute, then it will be good here too! OR leave the veggies out all together…YOUR choice!!
- Decide what meat you would like, or leave it out all together. Bacon, ham, and sausage are all traditional. Crab would be good too!
- Cheese or not…that is up to you! It is easily omitted.
Here are some Instant Pot quiche flavor combos to try:
- sweet potato or butternut squash, rosemary, goat cheese, spinach
- zucchini, tomatoes, fresh basil, feta (cultured cashew cheese would be tasty too!)
- bell peppers, tomato, zucchini, cheddar, chipotle puree
- ham, cheese, mushrooms, spinach
- roasted red peppers, spinach, and basil with pancetta

Did you cover the pots with foil?
I do not Elizabeth!
I love quiche- and being able to use this recipe while I’m eating paleo is such a bonus! Tasty!
Quiche is something I love, but have yet to try in the Instant Pot! I’m gonna have to add it to my menu. 🙂
My husband is Irish and he loves his quiche. Thanks for sharing this healthy version. I’ll be making it for him !
Another great recipe for the Instant Pot – these would be lovely to take as packed lunches in the week 🙂
These are perfect for having company in town. So cute and tasty!
These are so much fun. I like that you emphasize the flexibility of the recipe!! Love the sweet potato or butternut squash, rosemary, goat cheese, spinach option; so YUM! And the ham and cheese. Lovely!
Awesome recipe! I never ever thought about cooking quiche in an IP. Brilliant!
How cute and delicious!!
This is my kind of breakfast, made ahead, portioned out, and packed with flavor!
I just love my Instant pot for eggs! I’m down for a keto friendly quiche!
This looks so cute and delicious, and I love all the healthy veggies packed in there!
Do you put water in the bottom of the instant pot?
yikes! You bet!! Thanks for catching that, 1 cup of liquid as a minimum is almost always needed for pressure cooker cooking!
You had it right in your original recipe, no “yikes” needed! 🙂 I’m new to IP and I’m going to make this today. Wish me luck but I’m betting I won’t need it.
Looks delicious!
This looks and sounds delicious! Another reason to get an Instant Pot.
I LOVE my Instant Pot Tori! So worth it!
