One of the dishes that people living gluten-free can not enjoy when dining out is quiche. They can also not buy quiche ready-made unless they get the crust-less option, like the one Trader Joe's carries. Here is an easy quiche recipe that is delicious enough to serve even the most finicky gluten eaters in your life. This is a crust-less quiche recipe but the pie crust mix from Gluten-Free Pantry makes a perfect quiche crust, as long as you do not add sugar to it.

Tips
We used The Gluten Free Pantry’s Country French Bread Mix flour for the gluten-free flour in this recipe.
Quiche can be made with any meats/seafood, veggies and cheeses you prefer. Instead of bacon and leeks you might use artichoke hearts and shrimp. Get creative with your gluten-free cooking and you'll have more fun with it!
